UNESCO Focus

This month our UNESCO focus will be LITERACY to support Family Literacy Day on Sunday January 27. We are inviting families to contribute slightly used picture and chapter books. Please ensure the books are undamaged and appropriate for children from 3 to 13. Students can bring them into their classrooms beginning this week. This initiative will be supported at our Literacy Night.

Literacy Night

Come join us at our Family Literacy Night! We will celebrate the power of reading and learning together as a community. Families play a vital role in nurturing a child's love for literacy. Through shared stories, discussions, and engaging activities, we aim to strengthen the bond between home and school. Let's embark on a journey where the magic of books unfolds, fostering a lifelong passion for learning. Together, we build a foundation for success, one page at a time. Enjoy an evening filled with stories, laughter, and the joy of literacy!

Save the Date: January 25
Time: 6:00 to 7:30
Note: Students must come with a parent or guardian; this is a family event.
