WORLD READ ALOUD DAY
Wednesday, February 1st
We had a Book Party!
Founded in 2010 by LitWorld, World Read Aloud Day celebrates the power of reading aloud to create community, amplify stories, and advocate for literacy as a foundational human right. Since its beginning, World Read Aloud Day has grown into a global movement of millions of readers, writers, and listeners from over 170 countries.
"World Read Aloud Day is a time for all of us to unite around the joy of sharing stories, reveling in language, words, and sounds, and creating an inclusive world of possibility that everyone can join into."
- Pam Allyn, creator of World Read Aloud Day
Thank you to all of our parents and staff members that took time out of their busy day to read to our students!

In order to provide input for your student’s middle school placement in ELA, Math, and Science, we give you an opportunity to provide the committee with your insights via our Parent Input Form. Before completing the form, we highly recommend reviewing the Transition Information for Parents. Please note: completion of this form does not guarantee placement into the selected courses.
Gymnastics Open House Dates
Looking forward to seeing you this week!
Mr. O'Brien is offering an Open House for parents during the Gymnastics unit. Come see your child engaging in one of their favorite Physical Education units of the year. Below is a schedule of dates and times you will be permitted to visit. Please plan to visit on the day your child's class is in gym.
