MESSAGE FROM MRS. MOTZNY
Dear Parents,
We have ordered our new climbing structure and a new canopy (to replace our canopy that was damaged in a recent storm). When our climbing structure is installed, we will be adding rubber borders and mulch so that all students can access the equipment. We want to thank our community for being so generous with our playground upgrade. Our Sampson Stallions will be enjoying our new area hopefully in late spring or early summer.
Sincerely,
Heather Motzny

From the library
March 2 is Read Across America Day! It's Dr. Seuss's birthday, so we celebrate reading all week. If students want to share their reading love with some Dr. Seuss gear on Thursday, they may do that.
We will do activities at school during the week to share our love of reading. This is a great time to share with your own students what you love about reading. Maybe your family can read a book together or one-on-one with a student. Check out audio books for card rides. Encourage reading wherever possible!
Looking ahead - our K/1/2 students will participate in a Book Character Parade on Friday, April 14. It's a great time to start talking about what books they love and characters to bring to life!
