"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." ~ Margaret Fuller

Note to Parents
For this month's newsletter, I have put together a number of resources to help keep students actively reading, especially on these long winter days when it's tough to get outside. This list provides our children with multiple opportunities to read in a variety of formats. I have also compiled a number of websites to assist you in navigating through conversations with your child and some great tips for them to follow on using the internet safely. I hope you find it as useful as I have found with my own two daughters. Enjoy!
