Our classroom spotlight this week goes to all of first grade! Today, they participated in the Selma March in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They carried handmade peaceful protest signs conveying the message they learned from this lesson, including equal rights for all, everyone counts, and kindness for all. Students made five important stops along their march and learned facts about the march along the way. Thank you to our first grade teachers, Ms. Alvarenga, Ms. DePriest, Ms. Karioki, and Ms. Rodriguez, for providing such a memorable experience for our students! We hope you have a wonderful Dr. MLK, Jr. Day!

Our Character Parade has a new date! We are moving from October 31 to Friday, October 24. This update will allow students to dress up for the Character Dance and still participate in all Red Ribbon Week dress up days next week.
The parade is a fun event for students and teachers to see each other’s creative book character outfits and celebrate the joy of reading together.
Students may wear school-appropriate book character outfits. Please, no full face masks, face paint that covers the entire face, or toy weapons at school.
