✏️ International DOT DAY - Friday 9/16
Students and staff are encouraged to WEAR DOTS this Friday to celebrate International Dot Day!
International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
Each year on International Dot Day – with the help of people just like you – the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
Pictured below: Middle school students joined our elementary classrooms today to make DOTS together! These dots will be used to create a giant collaborative sculpture -- stay tuned for more pictures!
