Be Kind!

“Maybe I can only do small things.

But my small things might join small things other people do.

And together, they could grow into something big." 

After a most successful rollout last year, we are excited to continue our “One School, One Read Aloud” series as part of our work supporting social and emotional wellbeing.  Reading a book across the entire school provides a common and shared experience for every child and adult, sparking a community wide conversation.  All classrooms will be given the same book that supports the SEL skills addressed within each of the five units of study.  Our hope is that these conversations extend beyond the classroom into homes, across families, and well beyond our East Prairie community.  Our aim is to further establish a culture of literacy developed in partnership between the home and school, as well as, promote a shared message of compassion, kindness, and empathy.  This will bring us even closer together as a community so we can read, learn, and grow – together.
