So much has happened in our Blazer community. Just to name a few (in picture order...)
- We just finished National Counselor Week. We are are so lucky to have an absolute Rockstar Blazer Counselor. She has started Wellness Wednesday during lunch recess for all students to participate.
- This is the start of Black History Month and our Blazers have been learning about one person a day. We've posted their pictures in the common area's window for all to see.
- The admin team will be going into all classroom to do read aloud books that have black authors and representation.
- Special shoutout to amazing volunteer team for putting together BLAZER quilt based off of MLK and the community of Gee's bend. This quilt represents that each Blazer is part of one community.
- Global Play day is the first Wednesday in February. This day recognizes the importance of unstructured play and giving students the opportunity to be curious and explore. Our Blazers loved it!
- LNY celebration! - Thank you CIPCF & PTO for working together to make this such a memorable event
- Our very first K Innovation club led by our talented Ms. Jiang and Mr. Wong was a success!
- Science Fair projects have been turned in and it's so neat to see all the amazing scientist we have.
