Titus Celebrates Black History Month
During the month of February, Titus will be recognizing and honoring the positive impacts of African Americans on our country's history, as we observe Black History Month. To start each day, our Titus Morning News crew is featuring an individual, his/her accomplishments or contributions to our society, and a quote as our daily precept. In addition to the morning announcements, our Titus students will be learning in their classrooms about Black History Month through curricular activities along with being exposed to books in our Titus library.
Titus students and staff look forward to honoring Black History throughout the month of February.
Author Visit Postponed
Sara Pennypacker has come down with a bad case of the flu and will not be able to travel to any of her scheduled schools this week. We are currently working on rescheduling with her publicist, and are very hopeful that this is only a momentary setback. We are wishing for Sara's speedy recovery! There has been no delay in our book order, although the books have not yet been signed. If it is necessary for your child to have his or her unsigned copy of Pax or Here in the Real World by Friday, please send an email to Shannon O'Connor, school librarian, at soconnor@cbsd.org. Otherwise, the books will be held in a safe spot until Sara can make her visit to Titus and/or sign their books. As soon as we hear more news, we will let you know. Thank you so much for supporting so many author visits to Titus this year!
Read Across Titus - Book Swap
Each year Titus families donate gently used books to the school. Teachers work to sort and organize them for the book swap on Read Across Titus Day. On Read Across Titus Day, students in all grades are invited to the swap to shop for some new titles to add to their own collections. In the past we’ve collected thousands of books for the celebration. Please read the attached flyer to learn more about this special event on Monday, March 2.
