Part of our school wide service learning will be helping Family Promise, an organization that assists homeless families. Our second grade students will kick off our School Wide Service Learning by teaching us about Empathy during our student led assembly on March 26th. We will also be learning more about empathy, perseverance and inner peace through reading books, participating in diverse learning activities and by listening to our wonderful guest speakers such as author Susan Verdes, football player Eric LaGrande and the beloved book characters, Frog and Toad. We are excited to continue to teach our students about the importance of learning to take care of ourselves and others through peaceful leadership. We would like to thank the PTA in advance for supporting these wonderful initiatives. We are so excited to continue to work together with our community to help our students understand that by finding peace in themselves allows them to spread peace in their school, community and the world.
