On this last school day of February, the excitement over the 100 days of school on a sunny Friday can be heard throughout the classrooms! The warm sun beckons our recess and gym classes outside, and the fresh air and friendships have even our tallest eighth-grade boys skipping rope with their peers! Ah, Childhood!

There is bright color throughout the school today with students adding valentine colors to their uniforms! It is a simple way to join in the fun of wishing others kindness, compassion, and love in the tradition of St. Valentine’s message. In addition to our daily acts of love for our family and others, this Sunday can be a celebration of the message we may be too busy too many times to share. Enjoy every minute of Valentine’s Day and the winter week break that follows with your wonderful family!

Over 160 folks visited our school website last evening to view the History Night at the Museum project- were they not wonderful!! The pride and energy of the students came across the screen loud and clear as we learned from each class how differently the forms of communication can be presented. I have shared our program with Superintendent Ferris and Assistant Superintendent Morrissey, both of whom support our AS²A STEAM showcases! We are unique in embracing new learning- as this first virtual History Night demonstrates.
