On Friday, March 6, we have a special guest for a school-wide assembly. Sarah McKinnon, a Boston-based educator, occupational therapist and author of the Small Tots book series is excited to visit for a special author meet & greet, presentation and reading of "The Cheerful Chip".


______

About the Book

The Cheerful Chip is a heartwarming children’s story that helps kids discover the joy of confidence, kindness, and staying true to who they are, even when the world around them changes. When Chip sees his friends experimenting with new looks and bold flavors, he starts to wonder if he should change too. But after a few messy mishaps, Chip learns that his cheerful spirit and original self are what make him (and his friendships) truly special.


About the Author

Bring the snacks and let's tell some stories! Meet Sarah McKinnon, author of The Cheerful Chip and the Small Tots book series, and founder of Southie OT. As a proud occupational therapist, she's no stranger to knowing how to bring her creativity and her joy for life to inspire those around her. Some of her biggest inspirations have been sparked over mealtime conversations with her family and friends in South Boston, Massachusetts.

Book copies are available pre-visit at
www.smalltotsbooks.com. At checkout, use code "JWARRENKILLAM" for a special discount. Click "local delivery" and be sure to write the teacher name in the delivery instructions.


We look forward to meeting Sarah and seeing Chip come to life!

Reading Public Schools is hosting a Substitute Teacher Open House on Thursday, February 26th from 6-8pm in the Reading Public Library Community room. This is a drop-in event where interested community members can learn more about subbing in the Reading Public Schools. Experienced RPS subs will be on hand to answer questions about subbing as well as an HR team member from the RPS central office. Find out about the benefits to subbing including flexible days and hours, meaningful work with students, and competitive pay.


Thank you for helping us promote this open house! Please email me with any questions.


Best,

Debbie Hattery

Reading METCO is excited to announce that we will be hosting a roller-skating event for all RPS students and parents/guardians at Roller World in Saugus on Thursday, March 26th, from 5:00pm–7:00pm. Because last year’s event was such a huge success and filled up quickly, we were excited to bring it back again for this year!


This event is open to Reading Public Schools students and their families. While we all come from different communities, we are one METCO family, and this will be a fun opportunity for students to hang out and mingle after school hours while parents from Reading and Boston connect and engage with one another.


Skate rentals, pizza, and drinks will be provided. If you are a parent who is unable to attend, please feel free to send your child with money to purchase any additional items they may want. Please keep in mind that we are not responsible for your child’s money if they choose to bring it.

You must register for this event, as it is first come, first served. Last year, spots filled up fast! Please use the link below to register by Friday, March 20th.

Date: Thursday, March 26th, 2025
Time: 5:00pm–7:00pm
