Our scholars and their families enjoyed a special evening filled with food, fun, and a love for reading! Families shared a meal together, visited classrooms to learn helpful reading strategies, and took home reading packets packed with resources to support learning at home. 📖💡
We even had exciting door prizes to top off the night! 🎁

Kindergarten scholars explored making teen numbers using base-ten blocks. Scholars enjoyed this hands-on activity.
Kindergarten scholars in the 21st Century After school program used Valentine candy hearts to practice their decomposing or subtraction skills. Each scholar had to model the story problem given by the teacher or a friend with hearts to find the answer.
"Getting wild for a great cause! 🌀💛 Our scholars showed their silly side with crazy hair, mismatched clothes, and wacky socks to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week. #CrazyForKindness #SpreadJoy"
Shining a Light on Learning! 🔦✨
Our Kindergarten scientists explored light and shadows by using blocks and flashlights to investigate how shadows are made. They discovered how changing the position of the light or the object can make shadows bigger, smaller, or even change shape. Hands-on learning + bright minds = a glowing science lesson! 🌟

Little hands, big love 💕
Our Pre-K scholars created the sweetest Valentine’s Day craft—torn paper hearts with a special message: “I love you to pieces!” We love seeing their creativity, fine-motor skills, and hearts shine all at once 🧡✂️

♥️ Show Love and Kindness Online ♥️
This Valentine’s season, remind your child that what they share online lasts longer than candy hearts! Even if something is deleted, unkind words or images can stay online and continue to hurt others.
✨ Tech Tip:
Encourage your child to spread kindness online by sending a positive message or compliment to a friend, classmate, or family member.
Remind them that small, kind actions online can brighten someone’s day—just like a real-life Valentine!
🌐 Helpful Website:

Your child can create and send free digital valentines to friends and family while learning how to share love and creativity responsibly online.
💖 Remember:
Digital footprints last forever, but so does kindness. Let’s fill our feeds with encouragement, positivity, and love this month!
