What an incredible month we've had honoring our amazing military children and their families! 🇺🇸💜 We culminated the celebrations this week with some truly special moments, and we couldn't be more proud of our students and their families.

💜 Military Member Clap-In: Our amazing military members lined the car loop for a proud clap-in as students arrived at school. They clapped and cheered for each student, creating an atmosphere full of pride, joy, and encouragement. It was a heartwarming way to celebrate and recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of our military-connected students and families!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Military Family Breakfast: We kicked this week off with a heartwarming Military Family Breakfast, where our school community came together to celebrate the strength and sacrifices of our military families.

📚 Storybook Readings by Military Moms and Dads: Our brave military parents took time to read stories to our students, sharing their love for reading and the important role they play in supporting their children.

✉️ Letters to Military Kids: Our students had the chance to write heartfelt letters to military kids, sharing their gratitude and support for their peers who serve. It was truly touching to see our students' compassion and creativity shine through in their words.

🏅 Recognizing Our Unsung Heroes: We celebrated the young heroes among us with special certificates, recognizing the resilience, courage, and strength of our military kids. These students inspire us every day with their perseverance and dedication.

And that’s not all! From classroom activities to heartfelt moments of connection, the month was filled with joy and gratitude as we celebrated the unique contributions of military children.

Thank you to all of our military families for your service, sacrifice, and unwavering support. You are truly the heart of our community! 💜💫

Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader

Students in grades 3-6 have been working hard toward their Accelerated Reader (AR) goals. This week they surpassed 44 million words read. WOW! Please continue to encourage your child to complete their nightly reading. Once a book is completed, students may take an AR quiz at school. Passing the quiz earns points towards their goal!

Thank You for Supporting At-Home Reading!

We truly appreciate your continued support in encouraging nightly at-home reading. Just 20 minutes of reading each evening plays a crucial role in helping students develop into strong, successful readers!

Our 3rd-6th grade students have been working diligently to reach their Accelerated Reader (AR) goals each quarter. Please refer to the chart for each grade-level's quarterly goals. To further support their progress, AR tests are now accessible outside of school hours. Students can take tests on the books they read by logging into their app on Launchpad—right from home!

We’re excited to celebrate with all the students who achieve their goals once again! Keep up the great work!

At-Home Literacy Activities

Read Aloud Together

Take turns reading pages from a favorite book. Parents can read a chapter, and then kids can read the next. You can also pick a fun rhyming book or poetry collection and read it aloud as a family.

Story Walk

Print out pages from a favorite storybook and tape them along a walking path or around the house. As you walk along the path, read the story together at each step.

Author and Illustrator Focus

Dedicate a day to exploring a favorite author or illustrator, like Dr. Seuss or Eric Carle. After reading books by that author, try to replicate the style in a drawing or writing activity.

Read to Pets or Stuffed Animals

If you have pets or stuffed animals, host a reading session where kids "read" to them. It's a fun and stress-free way for children to practice their reading skills.
