Helen Edwards Roar Report- February
October 2025
February 2026
February may be a shorter month, but it is full of meaningful learning on our campus!
This month, our students will continue building strong academic skills while also growing socially and emotionally.
We will be celebrating Black History Month by learning about important leaders and everyday heroes who made a difference. Through stories, discussions, and age-appropriate activities, students will learn about respect, fairness, and courage.
Please continue to check backpacks and school communication for important updates and upcoming events. Thank you for your continued support and partnership—we appreciate all you do to help make each day a great one for our students!
