We are excited to share that on March 10th the District will be participating in a community initiative called "High Five Fridays". We have invited our first responders and other community members to help greet students as they arrive at school in the morning. If you see emergency vehicles outside of our school on the morning of March 10th, please know they are there to greet our students! Our first responders and community partners have committed to participating at each of our schools from February 3 through the end of the school year! We look forward to welcoming our community to our school!

The 2023 50/50 raffle is already over $10,000. Get your ticket today for a chance to win up to $30,000! Raffle sales run through March 17, 2023! One winner takes 50% of the sales! Each raffle ticket costs $100.

The drawing will be held on March 17, 2023. Only 600 raffle tickets will be sold! The more sold, the bigger the pot!

As we look forward to a new year, we look forward to implementing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) into our elementary library lessons. We are excited to bring these hands-on learning experiences to your schools. Throughout these activities, students will develop their social skills while also developing skills in problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, and more.

We are needing some help collecting materials for some of the STEM tasks. Here are some of the things we could use. These items are donations and will not be returned. Students can place items in a STEM collection box that are located near the front office in each our the elementary schools until March 24th; however we will not turn away items after that date.

A medida que avanzamos hacia un nuevo año, esperamos con interés la implementación de “STEM”, por sus siglas en inglés para “Science, Technology, Engineering, Math” (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería, Matemáticas), en nuestras lecciones de la biblioteca de primaria. Estamos muy contentos de llevar estas experiencias prácticas de aprendizaje a sus escuelas. A través de estas actividades, los estudiantes desarrollarán sus habilidades sociales al mismo tiempo que desarrollan habilidades de resolución de problemas, pensamiento crítico, creatividad, curiosidad, toma de decisiones, liderazgo y mucho más.

Estamos necesitando ayuda para reunir materiales para algunas de las tareas de STEM. Aquí están algunas de las cosas que podríamos utilizar. Estos artículos son donaciones y no serán devueltos. Los estudiantes pueden colocar los artículos en una caja de recolección de “STEM” que se encuentra ubicada cerca de la oficina principal en cada una de nuestras escuelas primarias.

Materiales Usados o Reciclados

• Cajas de cereales vacías

• Rollos de toallas de papel vacíos

• Rollos de papel higiénico vacíos

• Rollos de papel de envolver vacíos

• Cajas de cartón para huevos vacías

• Rompecabezas (de 48-100 piezas), **Por favor, que no haya piezas de madera o que falten piezas. Cierre las cajas de los rompecabezas con cinta adhesiva.

Cualquier pregunta adicional, comuníquese con el Maestro de Innovación de la Biblioteca de la escuela.
