February Newsletter

Can you believe we have already reached such a significant milestone? This past February, we officially celebrated our 100th Day of School, and the energy throughout our hallways was nothing short of electric.

Reflecting on the past few months, my heart is full of pride. I am continually inspired by:

• Our Students: Your curiosity and resilience are the heartbeat of this school. Watching you master new skills and build lasting friendships is the best part of my day.

• Our Teachers: Their dedication goes far beyond the classroom. I am so grateful for the passion and creativity they pour into every lesson.

• Our Community: Your ongoing support is what makes our school feel like a true family.

While we’ve accomplished so much in 100 days, we aren't slowing down yet! We have roughly 80 days remaining in the school year, and I am filled with anticipation. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s make these next 80 days our best ones yet!

Mrs. Perri's kindergarten class has been working diligently on some whimsical group projects that celebrated our 100th day of school! We are so proud of them for working together! Way to go, Kindergarteners!

Students in Ms. Reinhardt's kindergarten and 6th grade class also celebrated the 100th day by sporting some fun 100 Day glasses!

Mrs. Perri's class organized 100 Fruit Loops and

strung them on to Fruit Loop necklaces!

Check them out! What a fun way to celebrate

this special day!

The Kindergarten classes put on an incredible fashion show, sporting vests they crafted that represent their letter! This is a fun way to equip our students with these phonics skills. This is our second show and we hope to have many more.

In Mrs. DelGrande’s class, students enjoy using KEVA Planks to learn engineering and creative problem-solving. With no glue or connectors needed, students can focus on learning through building.

Ms. Reinhardt, Mrs. Romano, and Mrs. Boscaino's second graders are practicing multi-digit addition! Their faces lit up as they comprehended the process of combining the hundreds place, tens place, and ones place to represent a complete number in an exciting way!

We are School 5 Bulldogs-tough enough to get it done!

In February, we recognized students who had many achievements - from academic achievements, socio-emotional achievements (like showing kindness), attendance achievements, and much more. They represent the values and vision of what it means to be a School 5 Bulldog! We are so proud of our students who have shown success in these areas, and know that all of our students have the potential to reach these heights! Please continue to encourage your students to be the shining stars that we know they are!
