Today is National School Parent Group Day! Without our parent volunteers, we wouldn't be successful. Thank you to everyone and all you do.
Edison Elementary celebrated Dot Day, yesterday, by making our own mark. If you haven't read the book by Peter H. Reynolds, you should add it to your que.
International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
Each year on International Dot Day – with the help of people just like you – the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
Join us for the G/T meeting for parents and students to learn about the services our district offers.
See you Wed, 9/18 at 3:30 at the HS!
Two hours to kickoff at Hafer Field. Dont forget, if you can't join us live, watch the game here: https://www.citylinktv.com/channel/ccasports/
