📚 Community Read Alouds Begin in the Elementary School! 📚
Today marked the start of our Community Read Alouds in the Elementary School, led by Principal Mr. Whittel and Assistant Principal Mrs. Hysick! This special event gathers students by grade level to explore important topics.
This month's theme was Empathy—helping students understand and appreciate the feelings of others. Older students listened to The Kids' Book of Diversity: Empathy, Kindness, and Respect for Differences by Catherine Stephenson, while younger students enjoyed It's Okay to Be Different by Todd Parr.
It was a great start to fostering kindness and understanding in our school community! 💙📖
