📚✨ Our 21st Century Site Coordinators recently participated in an inspiring professional development training facilitated by published author and Children's Literacy Foundation storyteller Terry Farish, Author!

Terry shared engaging strategies for bringing stories to life, supporting English Language Learners, and creating meaningful family engagement experiences that foster a love of reading. Site Coordinators had the opportunity to experience interactive storytelling techniques firsthand and explore creative ways to engage students through literacy.

As a special surprise, Terry concluded the session by signing copies of her book Joseph’s Big Ride so that each 21st Century program can share the story with students throughout the year. 📖💙

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with CLiF and for Terry taking the time to share her expertise, creativity, and passion for storytelling. Thank you for helping us strengthen literacy experiences for our students and families across all of our programs! 🌟

🎉✨ Celebration of Learning & Family Fun Night! ✨🎉

What an amazing evening! Students proudly showcased projects and accomplishments from throughout the school year while families explored all of their hard work and creativity.

Afterward, everyone joined in the fun with carnival games and challenges, creating lasting memories together. With nearly all of our families attending, the event was a huge hit!

Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making this celebration so special. ❤️📚🎡

🌎✈️ Passport Club Family Engagement Night was a huge success! ✈️🌎

Our students were so excited to share their work and show their families all of the countries they “traveled” to and learned about throughout the year! It was incredible to see their pride as they showcased projects, artwork, and memories from their journey around the world.

This year, our Passport Club explored countries including France, Brazil, Egypt and much more, learning about each country’s culture, traditions, geography, food, and history along the way.

Families were amazed by how many countries our students visited and by the amount of learning, creativity, and hard work that went into every project. In addition to exploring student displays, families enjoyed making bracelets inspired by the colors of different national flags, completing 21st Century-themed coloring puzzles, and coloring pages featuring countries from around the world.

A big thank you to our students, staff, and families for making this event so special. We loved celebrating a year of curiosity, learning, and global exploration together! 🌍❤️

🇺🇸 This week, as we prepared for Memorial Day, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students made liberty crowns and star wands! ⭐👑

After finishing their creations, students proudly said the Pledge of Allegiance and waved their star wands with excitement. We are thankful for those who have served our country and remember the sacrifices made by so many. ❤️💙

It was a fun and meaningful way for students to learn, create, and reflect together!

🌏✈️ Today our Passport Club visited Japan! 🇯🇵

Students learned about Japanese culture and geography through fun hands-on activities. We sampled 4 different Pocky flavors 🍫 and voted for our favorite — Original Chocolate won in the final round!

Students also made Japanese Carp Streamers 🎏 for Children’s Day, painted watercolor scenes of Mount Fuji and traditional Japanese landscapes, and created origami cats and dogs 🐱🐶.

To end the day, students wrote postcards to friends and family sharing all about their “trip” to Japan! 💌 We had a great time learning and exploring together! 🌸

Our 4th and 5th grade students had been working hard preparing for the track meet that was originally scheduled for last week. Unfortunately, the rainy weather forced the event to be cancelled — but we didn’t let all of that hard work and excitement go to waste! ☔🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

One of our 21st Century programs stepped in and hosted our very own track meet for ALL grade levels! Students got their bodies moving through sprint races, long jump, “javelin” tosses using pool noodles, relay activities, and so many other fun challenges throughout the day. The energy, teamwork, and sportsmanship were amazing to see!

We are so proud of our students for staying active, trying new things, and embracing healthy lifestyles while having fun togethe
