Dear School #3 Families,


Last week was an exciting and engaging time at our school as we celebrated Read Across America Week. Our students enjoyed a variety of special events that highlighted the joy and importance of reading.


Throughout the week, we welcomed several guest readers into our classrooms who generously shared their time and favorite stories with our students. We also held three wonderful assemblies, including the Magic of Reading Assembly, which reminded students how books can spark imagination and creativity. In addition, our Sensory Assembly and Pep Assembly brought students together in fun and meaningful ways that celebrated school spirit and inclusion.


All of the events were a great success, and it was wonderful to see our students so engaged and enthusiastic. Thank you to our staff, guest readers, and everyone who helped make the week so memorable for our school community.


As we move further into March, we look forward to the arrival of spring and warmer days ahead, along with many more exciting learning opportunities for our students.


Thank you for your continued support of our school.


Buzz buzz! 🐝

Mr. Puglia
