HIGHLIGHTS FROM BOOK TO MOVIE DAY!
LED BY STUDENT READING LEADERS!
Under the guidance of Mrs. DiStefano, first grade Reading Leaders planned a Book to Movie Day, complete with hot chocolate and cozy comforts. Reading Leaders at every grade level helped make it happen!
We are combining student projects (known in the past as Project Proud) with family leadership activities for one wonderful night! Students will have the opportunity to submit projects for our Knowledge Fair Leadership Night. Look for a flyer coming home this week, followed by an invitation for families to attend this open house on 4/27 from 4:30-6:30.
EARN A RAFFLE TICKET ON LEADERSHIP NIGHT!
In April, every student will be bringing home a Leader in Me 7 Habits BINGO board. It has activities for families to do at home that are related to the 7 habits.
If you complete 5 activities in a row, bring this Bingo sheet to our Leadership Night on April 27, 2023. You will receive a raffle ticket at the event. Feel free to complete all the activities. If you do, you will receive 3 raffle tickets!
Have fun practicing the habits with your families!
