Sept 8-11

Walk N Roll is happening! Have you considered biking to school? If biking is something you might want to try, consider coming to the Bike Family Festival on Sunday, Sept 13th to give your family some skills and resources to bike to school. Don’t worry, if biking isn’t possible for you, you can still participate in Walk N Roll by walking, scooting or carpooling to school on a Wednesday and checking in at our Walk N Roll station at the front of the school. We’ll see you on Wednesday!

We are currently looking for volunteers for all classes to help run FAME. This commitment is approximately one hour in-class time, four times a year. Schedules will be determined based on volunteer and teacher availability. If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please email Shannon at Shannon.Bourget.pta@gmail.com.

What is FAME?

FAME (Fine Arts Mini Experience) is a lively, content-rich, kid, parent, and teacher-friendly fine arts program.

This program supports art education by introducing students to different artists & composers and their work. Students will have the opportunity to create their own works of art inspired by the specific artist discussed during the lesson. The goal of this program is for students to increase their knowledge and appreciation of different forms of art and the artists.

Join other dads in our inaugural Morello Park Dads Group. Low commitment. High impact. You’re invited. We are hosting the 1st Family Movie Night of the year.

Level 1: give your email and attend any events that work with your schedule 

Level 2: level 1 + help at an event

Our students have begun their bi-weekly Library visits with our amazing Library Tech, Rachel Padilla (pictured here).  Classes come visit the library for a story time and to check out books for the month at their reading levels.  These visits help encourage a love for reading and opportunity for students to choose their text.  They are important to our school culture and help us build a joy for reading that is shared across campus.  Ms. Padilla is in her 2nd year at Morello Park and loves being a part of our community.  Her favorite book to read at storytime is Buffalo Fluffalo by Bess Kalb.

We are so excited to continue our partnership with our DEI Parent's group this school year.  Our first Assembly will be on September 24th and feature a performance by Liondanceme.  The 4th graders will also be performing a song they are learning that originated in Ghana.  Celebrating each other's cultures and family traditions helps us ensure that Morello Park is a place where all students feel at home.  The DEI group is having their first meeting on September 15th.  We encourage everyone interested to come out and participate.

My family and I will be celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year this coming weekend.  It is an important celebration and time of year for us and I wanted to take the opportunity to wish all other families who observe the holiday L'Shana Tovah - a sweet and happy new year!  Have a wonderful week ahead MPE Eagles!
