Reading Rewards
This year, Schurz Elementary students are earning a necklace and charms as well as having classroom celebrations to encourage reading outside of school time.
Studies show that taking 20 minutes to read every day day can strengthen connections in the brain, improve memory & concentration, boost mental health, and improve critical-thinking skills. Plus reading a minimum of 20 minutes day allows children's vocabulary to grow and expand, exposing them to about 1.8 million words of text every year!
Join the P.T.O.!
The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is a partnership of parents and teachers working together to support and enrich the lives of students at Schurz Elementary. Our goals are to encourage interaction between family and school, serve as a source of support, and work with teachers, staff, and the community to improve our children’s educational experience.
The PTO works closely with the school administration to meet school needs as well as help from volunteering and fundraising.
Past activities include: The Tiger Walk, popcorn and movie day, green eggs and ham, teacher/staff appreciation week, field day, the book fair, Trunk or Treat, and much more!
