More fun with Dr. Seuss. We wore wacky socks on Wacky Wednesday. And we continued reading fun stories and learning by doing hands on activities.

Happy Kindness Month!
Today we celebrated World Read Aloud Day at the Early Childhood Center! Ask your child about what story they read about in school. Reading books helps your child stimulate their imagination and expands their knowledge of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills so please read to your child everyday in any language.
During our remote snow days children shared their snow creations, acted as meteorologists, and went on a scavenger hunt in their home to find something that began with the letter "E". Looking forward to seeing everyone in person tomorrow, February 3rd for our World Read Aloud Day!
Good afternoon Lawrence
We are returning to our hybrid in person school tomorrow, Wednesday February 2nd. Please be safe as the melting snow and dropping temperatures may make some icing conditions. Our facilities crew has done a great job prepping the buildings and we appreciate them.
Today we report 3 new COVID cases, 2 at LES with no close contacts and one at the HS requiring close contacts to quarantine. We must stay diligent to the safety protocols. We appreciate all you are doing to keep one another healthy and safe.
