It’s Books at Night time, Redhawks! 🦅
Tonight’s story is extra special — it reminds us that everyone has a voice, even if they don’t use words to speak. 💬❤️
🎥 Staff Reader: Elizabeth A. Marchewka, M.S. CCC-SLP
💬 Speech and Language Pathologist
📖 Book: “I’ve Always Had a Voice”
✍️ Written by Tania Wieclaw | 🎨 Illustrated by Yulia Frolova
This gentle, rhyming story celebrates all the amazing ways children communicate — through AAC, sign language, gestures, and expressions. It’s a beautiful reminder that every voice deserves to be heard and celebrated. 🌟
Perfect for ages 2–6, this story helps young readers learn about understanding, inclusion, and kindness — and gives families a chance to talk about how we all share our thoughts and feelings differently.

Today we traveled to El Salvador for National School Lunch Week. The students tried Pupusas, a corn tortilla filled with cheese, spices and peppers. This was a big hit across all grade levels. Check back tomorrow to see what our next destination will be.....








This week is National School Lunch Week and the theme is Taste the World. We started yesterday with visiting China and all the kids were able to try a fresh spring roll. Always lots of smilies trying new things and getting a fun airplane sticker to put on our world map that they tried something from a different country. We also had some special guests from Chef Ann Foundation Fellowiship program helping us make this a sucess. Stay tuned all week to see where we visit next.










Sound the alarm! 🚨 Our kindergarten students had an amazing field trip to the Groton Fire Department on Friday for Fire Safety Week! They loved seeing the big red trucks, learning about firefighter gear, and hearing important safety tips.
A special thank you to the wonderful crew at the Groton Fire Department for being such fantastic hosts every single year. We are so grateful for our community partners! 👩🚒👨🚒
