We want to say thank you for the beautiful new student desks and chairs for two of our spark classrooms. Um October was full of kindness and fun. Our sock collection for those in need warmed many hearts and toes. Uh the ENL fall fest was
005a huge success. We had many spark teachers attend to show sport and attend. Our Halloween celebrations were simply spooktacular. From the festive parade and pumpkin patch to the story walk and classroom parties, smiles and laughters filled the halls. As we move into November, our dedicated teachers are looking forward to engaging in professional development to make our ELA program even more exciting and enriching for our young learners. We are also excited to introduce our new social studies curriculum and the updated Lions Quest program. Our staff is enthusiastic about integrating these resources into the classroom and has already enjoyed the positive impact of the new materials. Furthermore, we are will be exploring updates and new options within Envision Math to better engage and support the learning of all our students. Last week, I attended a conference to
006learn more about the new Envision Plus program with Mrs. Romer and two of my colleagues from other buildings. Um, our reading staff did a wonderful presentation at the November PTA meeting and we'll be hosting another one in January. And Spark is currently hosting a toy drive along with the turkey chop collection to support the John P children's foundation which helps sick and needy children while giving back to our community. Um, our staff is participating in the SEPTA food drive for Pete's Pantry. And in addition, our school will also be adopting some families that may need a helping hand during this holiday season. We are proud of our team's continued generosity and commitment to making a positive difference wherever we can. Here's to more adventures and learning together. And thank you and have a happy Thanksgiving.
