Note from Ms. Cecil
Hello January! We're back after a long winter break, and I couldn't be happier to see everyone again! It's been a joy hearing about all the wonderful and exciting activities students enjoyed during their time off.
This month, we're continuing to focus on mastering the Destiny catalog with our upper-grade students while discussing both reading and personal goals for the year as we kick off 2025.
Students will explore the impact and importance of Martin Luther King Jr., learning about his contributions to civil rights and how his legacy continues to inspire meaningful actions and choices in our daily lives.
I'm thrilled to share that the Joy of Learning program visited the Seven Oaks library to see the amazing work our newspaper committee has been doing. Watch the video!
