Projects in the 20-21 School Year
Connecting StudentsAs students started the year at home we wanted to remind them and the teachers that we were still all together through a photo wall.
Implicit Bias TrainingAn Implicit Bias in Education training was presented free to all by Penny Christian.
Indoor Recess CartsThree indoor recess carts were created and supplied with COVID safe activities for bad weather days with sensory and educational enrichment activities.
World Poetry Day and Poetry Month ProjectThis is a current project in which submissions have been extended to April 25th. Please encourage your student to submit a poem to go into our collective school book that will be kept in the school library. The classroom or homeroom with the most participants will get a class party with either pizza or ice cream. There will be a class participation winner in each elementary and middle school, so we hope this encourages everyone to jump in! Also, we will be doing give-a-ways to those who are participating and will have one winner per class (of those participating). Note: this is not a contest. Students do not have to attach their name, they can say grade and or age so long as we know who the student is and can let us know. To submit entries we ask that you use this link below or email us.

For those who's students have more than one teacher, this will be for their homeroom teacher. PTSA will be purchasing treats such as candy, gummies, and sweets for all students.
