April Updates from Mrs. Marks…
- Congratulations to 1st Grade for winning the 2nd marking period Golden Ladle award! Students enjoyed a “golden” ice cream party to celebrate their great cafeteria manners!
- CE celebrates diversity this month! From Inclusion Awareness to Earth Day and Arab Heritage Month, there's so much to honor. Inclusion reminds us that every voice matters. In activities throughout the month students will learn about neurodiversity, which means that people's brains may work differently from each other. Please review the dress up days below that we are having to bond together as a school community. It's important to understand that everyone is unique and that's what makes us all special. Also in April we will celebrate Earth Day and encourage us to protect our planet. Finally throughout the month in morning meetings students will learn about Arab Heritage Month and will explore rich cultures and traditions.
- Conshy Green Fest will include artwork of CE students! Please stop by Mary Wood Park on Saturday, April 26 between 12:00 - 3:00 pm.
