**Reading Spirit Week**
Tuesday 3/4 is… Books Make Us Bright!
Here are a couple of more read aloud stories to enjoy:
SMEDS AND THE SMOOS- This is another lovely story written by Julia Donaldson. The story works for all ages because it is a simple but effective way of highlighting the importance of tolerance and acceptance of differences (8 minutes).
FOX IN SOCK RAP – This video shows our kids that you’re never too old to enjoy Dr. Seuss. It also highlights how to get creative and present something that is very well known in a new and unique way. If your class has seen this one, Wes also raps other Dr. Seuss books! 6 min.
The Lee Arts Foundation is Bursting into Spring! PTSA’s partner in art is hosting a fabulous silent auction and fun evening of food, drink, and music to benefit and further the work of the Lee Arts Foundation!
LAF’s mission is to support the arts in the lower Snoqualmie Valley, bringing people together through art, music, and culture.
Mark your calendar for March 15th!
