LOVE OF READING WEEK TO OCCUR NEXT WEEK
Next week, our students will be celebrating Love of Reading Week with a variety of activities designed to encourage reading along with the lessons learned and adventures gained through an exploration of literature. Mrs. Sudak and the Student Council teamed up to create spirit days that will be announced to the students on Monday. Please see the flyer below for more details. Thanks to the coordination, thoughtfulness, and generosity of the PTA, elementary students will also be receiving the gift of a book in keeping with one of our favorite traditions to encourage reading.

In our time of loss, we express our gratitude for the extraordinary love and support that continuously defines our community.
I sat down close without a word
My arm draped ‘cross her back
I hugged her tight to reassure
And saw a smile crack.
The little things can warm a heart
Can help a friend in need
Can bring to them a fresh new start
The smallest acts can breed.
A world of kindness that is fraught
With positivity
You don’t need much to give a lot
And change a life in need.
