PICTURES & NEWS CLIMATE COMMITTEE RAFFLE Committee members met in the library on Monday, 8-8-2023, to pick raffle winners for school store coupons. Prior to that selection process, teachers had listed all students who bussed or walked/biked to school on Friday. Students in H.O.P.E. cut the lists into slivers that were put into the raffle containers. The containers were shaken vigorously and names were pulled out. Climate Committee teachers added those students names to school store coupons. Forty coupons were distributed on Monday. Link to 9 Pictures of the process.  HOW DID PEOPLE COME TO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY Slightly more than half the students (56%) arrived by bus, by bicycle or on foot. Forty four percent came in family vehicles.

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.  In this celebration of Japanese culture and family and bodies of all shapes and sizes, join a little girl--along with her aunties and grandmother--at a traditional bath house. Once there, the rituals leading up to the baths begin: hair washing, back scrubbing, and, finally, the wood barrel drumroll. With a lyrical text and gorgeous illustrations, this picture book is based on Kyo Maclear's loving memories of childhood visits to Japan, and is an ode to the ties that bind generations of women together.  The new kid in school needs a new name! Or does she? Being the new kid in school is hard enough, but what about when nobody can pronounce your name? Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids will like her. So instead of introducing herself on the first day of school, she tells the class that she will choose a name by the following week. Her new classmates are fascinated by this no-name girl and decide to help out by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But while Unhei practices being a Suzy, Laura, or Amanda, one of her classmates comes to her neighborhood and discovers her real name and its special meaning. On the day of her name choosing, the name jar has mysteriously disappeared. Encouraged by her new friends, Unhei chooses her own Korean name and helps everyone pronounce it—Yoon-Hey. |
