Week 27
This was a short week for our students, as we faced some unruly weather and poor road conditions and had to call for snow days. Let’s hope that winter is just about behind us; there are a few blips in the forecast for next week, but temps should be warmer. We certainly look forward to getting back to school on Monday and having a week full of learning and fun!
Our photos will be fewer this week, but some teachers did manage to snap a few on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Read Across America Week is coming up at the beginning of March, and we have lots of engaging activities and special themes planned. You’ll find more information below. This is always a favorite week at school as we celebrate beloved children’s books and their authors.
Have a wonderful weekend, PWA families!
Each year, we celebrate Read Across America Week at school with fun themes and good books.
