Dear East Sandy Families,
We had a wonderful week announcing our Teacher of The Year! Ms. Lanie is our Skills Lab Special Education Teacher. She works hard to collaborate and work with all teacher to ensure students are successful here at East Sandy!
We also held our Book Blitz Jr. school competition for fourth and fifth graders. Two teams will go on to the district level. Thank you to the PTA for all of their work in making this experience happen for our students. Go Mustangs!
Next Tuesday we have our Spring Pictures. Please see the flyer for more information.
Library Tip
The American Library Association has announced the Youth Media Awards. Peruse these lists to become acquainted with some of the best new books published last year!
You may already be familiar with the Newbery and Caldecott Awards for best children’s book and best picture book respectively. There are other fantastic awards such as the Coretta Scott King and Pura Belpre that honor diverse creators. Check them out! I am particularly excited about Across So Many Seas by Ruth Behar because I love historical fiction and how this book captures pivotal moments in history that aren’t typically written about in children’s literature.
Digital Citizenship
A lot of news media content is designed to grab our attention and keep us engaged. Knowing that the news we consume can be biased or misreported, it’s crucial that all of us—especially young people—learn to decode the information we encounter. https://cnyns.org/3ZrCTSFLinks to an external site.
