Fifth graders are reading to second graders.
Each year, the second grades make their own tie-dye T-shirts. When I used to tie-dye, you would roll up a piece of the shirt with a fork, rubberband it, and hold it in colored dye. Whoever heard of spray paint tie-dye?! Next, there will be Dick Tracy watches.
One of our own therapy dogs, Skipper, starred on the CBS Morning Show this week. Skipper talked about how much he loves visiting Washington School each day and learning how to read. Skipper can be found each afternoon at the bicycle racks giving out autographs.

You wear a hairband. What do you do if you refuse to wear a hairband because you are not crazy about how it looks? Your teacher wears one with you.
It will be here before you know it -- the fifth-grade choral concert!

This October, we recognize the resilience, achievements, and ongoing advocacy of individuals with disabilities. We reaffirm our commitment to creating a more inclusive society and celebrate the diverse perspectives and talents that enrich our communities.
Symbiosis: a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups
Our friends from the Westfield Fire Department dress up one step at a time in all of their equipment to let our children see what a firefighter might look and sound like if they come to rescue you.
We love seeing every fifth grader face a challenge that they did not think they could do and watching them do it during our overnight at the Fairview Lake YMCA.
