The Reading Corner
Hello Cougar Families!
I would like to take this month’s memo as an opportunity to advertise for all the fun events we have planned for Read Across America Week! Below you will find a list of dress up days and activities. A copy will be coming home as well. We are so excited to celebrate a love reading with your child! We would also like to extend a most sincere thank you to all the students who attended reading club and participated in nightly reading as part of the Tundra Tales Reading Program. Well done!
Youth Art Month
March is Youth Art Month! To celebrate the fine arts in our public schools, the MPSD is once again collaborating with the Rahr West Art Museum to bring “Youth Art Series” to our community! The exhibition is composed of nearly 1,000 works of art by student artists in elementary, middle, and high school. Artwork of every media can be viewed: painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, collage, fibers, digital media, photography, and animation. Immerse yourself in the creativity and energy of our local youth artists by viewing the exhibit from March 5th through April 2nd. A casual reception open to the public to honor and recognize the MPSD’s aspiring visual artists will take place on Sunday, March 5th from 1:00 - 4:00pm.
The Rahr-West Art Museum is a City of Manitowoc facility. There is no fee for admission. Donations are gratefully accepted.

The Start of Spring
The March equinox occurs on Monday, March 20, 2023. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is known as the vernal, or spring, equinox and marks the start of the spring season. In the Southern Hemisphere, autumn begins.
At this time, the Sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north. Also on this day, the Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west—a good thing to know if you get lost in the woods.
