March's Read Aloud - Call Me Max
Two years ago, our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Team created the Reading to Raise Anti-Racists project. As you know, the RRAR project provides a monthly school-wide read-aloud book to increase equity awareness for students using developmentally appropriate books. The RRAR project has been highly successful and schools across the state have been reaching out to inquire about our special work. This month's book, Call Me Max introduces Max, a transgender elementary student. It's a beautiful story that thoughtfully approaches being transgender. It is developmentally appropriate, just like all our other books. Reading Call Me Max is just one of the many ways we include and affirm students of all identities.
MEMORY BOOK ORDERING TIME
Order early! Deadline by Monday, April 24th
Memory Books are a great way to commemorate your child's year at Orchard. Books cost $14 each and can be ordered using the link or QR code below. If you are able, please consider donating an extra book for a family in need.
Order Link: https://www.memorybook.com/online-pay/parent-pay/
School Code: 920771
You will need the school code above and then follow the directions on the screen to set up an account. If you already have an account from last year, please update your child’s information so their order goes to this year's classroom teacher. Do so by clicking on the “+Add/Update Information” purple button in your account and adjusting the teacher's name and grade. If you wish to donate a book, you can put it in your name or your child's name as the system requires a name be entered but we will be sure the book goes to someone in need. Thank you!
Volunteer Opportunity: This Memory Book coordinator is graduating in June! If you are interested and willing to take on the Memory Book in future years, please reach out to learn the ropes and be mentored in this current ordering season.
