News You Can Use
February 8, 2022
We’re approaching the first 100 days of school full steam ahead. Students have completed mid-year assessments. Faculty and staff are expertly guiding, supporting and building on new foundations. Parents are reaching out to help and eager to support each other in ways big and small.
In short, there is a lot to celebrate.
So, we’re launching a MONTH OF LOVE. Inspired by parents Amy Whittle’s and Tara Patrick’s tradition of writing positive notes to their kids in the month of February, we’re inviting all members of the community to share a kind thought. Hearts have been deployed all over school for students and staff to take advantage of the moment and share the love. You can join in too by dropping off a heart message at school, sending it in with your students’ work or stopping by the town hall (there’s a heart tree waiting for your messages). Let’s spread the love, Redding!
Our personal thanks this week to Lisa MacDonald for organizing a fantastic outdoor skating social on Sunday evening at Longshore Outdoor Rink, Westport. We all went slip-sliding-gliding together and met so many new friends. Thank you to all the families who came out to play.
Finally, here’s a sneak peak at what’s brewing at the PTA!
Mar 26 - International Festival
Travel around the world in a single afternoon! It’s a global hands-on event for all ages with professional entertainment and local families sharing a few key facts about a country of choice.
Apr 23 - Imagine a World Outdoors
Close your eyes and imagine the world of Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics coming alive at the back of the school. There’s a science fair for your little one, too! Stay tuned for messages in the mail soon!
Don’t you want to get involved and pitch in? Volunteers always welcome!
