This month our staff and students have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! The Multicultural committee put together a virtual assembly called "Passport to Latin America. Students tuned in each morning and toured four regions of Latin America studying 10 countries. In this week's newsletter there are video links to what students learned.

Please remind children the importance of wearing their masks. We've been in school for a month and we want to continue our safe practices.

We thank all of you for continuing to send your children to school in uniform. If you are in need of any uniforms please call the school and we may be able to help you.

"As the nights draw longer and the days get colder, most people start mourning the end of summer — except for book-lovers. Because book-lovers know something that the rest of the world doesn't: fall is the best season for reading. So instead of feeling sad that the hot weather is coming to an end, prepare to welcome fall in style — with a house full of books."
