🌊📚 Today was a fantastic experience for our students; thank you to the Elkha Alliance! A special thank you to Chanel, a marine biologist from Portland, for leading an engaging session on the repopulation of sea otters in our area, tying in perfectly with our One School, One Book theme of "Odder." 🦦📘 The insights shared about these adorable and vital creatures were fascinating.

Research shows that reading together has incredible benefits for children—it boosts literacy skills and fosters a lifelong love for learning.

Guardians, read with your child daily and sign the reading log to track your progress. Starting April 9th, participate in our daily trivia questions related to "Odder" for a chance to win fantastic prizes! Remember to keep those reading logs updated, turn them in on Mondays for weekly prizes, and submit them by noon on April 25th for a chance to enter our grand prize drawing.
