Principal's Message
Dear Maureen M. Welch Families,
This week we celebrate Read Across America, this year's national theme is Kindness and Diversity. Morning announcements will feature a number of books on this topic, such as The Energy Bus for Kids, Widget, The Giving Tree, and more.
The Library will have a selection of books showcased on the shelves for students to choose and teachers to read aloud. The books cover a range of topics on diversity and families.
Mid-week students are invited to dress as their favorite book character and the week will culminate with D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) on Friday.
We look forward to an exciting week!
Warm Regards,
Rebecca Grimm
