CLIMATE COMMITTEE WHOLE-SCHOOL GOAL FOR MAY Our goal is to have more people ride the bus or walk/bike to school during the month of May. Please join us each Friday in May when we walk/bike/bus to school. You can also go on your own. Classroom teachers will check off who walked, biked or bussed and those students will be entered into a raffle for school store coupons. In addition, at the end of May, those students who bussed or walked/biked will be entered into a raffle for a gently used bicycle. There will be two teacher-led groups you can join on Friday if you want company walking to school. One will start at the fountain at Taylor Park (Mr. Marrin & Ms. Draper). The other will start near the basketball court at Houghton Park (Ms. Bashaw & Ms. Chisholm). Both will leave promptly at 7:00 AM and arrive at school at 7:25. Come to the parks at 6:55 AM. THE LORAX VISITED TO PROMOTE WALKING & BUSSING FRIDAYS On Tuesday, May 2nd at 12:30 PM, the Lorax, Mr. Marrin and Ms. Draper dropped by the cafeteria to ask students to consider joining walking and bussing to school on Fridays.

May is Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! This month celebrates the unique journey of all AAPI immigrants and citizens in the United States and their unique life experiences, traditions and cultures. Look for these books in our library to help you honor and celebrate the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.  I dream with Popo as she rocks me in her arms. I wave at Popo before I board my flight. I talk to Popo from across the sea. I tell Popo about my adventures. When a young girl and her family emigrate from Taiwan to America, she leaves behind her beloved popo, her grandmother. She misses her popo every day, but even if their visits are fleeting, their love is ever true and strong.  Prairie Lotus is a powerful, touching, multilayered book about a girl determined to fit in and realize her dreams: getting an education, becoming a dressmaker in her father’s shop, and making at least one friend. Acclaimed, award-winning author Linda Sue Park has placed a young half-Asian girl, Hanna, in a small town in America’s heartland, in 1880. Hanna’s adjustment to her new surroundings, which primarily means negotiating the townspeople’s almost unanimous prejudice against Asians, is at the heart of the story. Narrated by Hanna, the novel has poignant moments yet sparkles with humor, introducing a captivating heroine whose wry, observant voice will resonate with readers. |
