Dear Center Community,
Another exciting and enriching week at Center. The Discovery Museum set up shop at Center this week providing engaging and interactive presentations to our K-2 students. Kindergarten students had a blast with bubbles. First grade students engaged in high touch, high tech activities and our second grade students learned about various stones and were able to bring home some treasures they found while sifting through soil. These programs were available due to your generosity and support of our fundraising efforts, THANK YOU!
We celebrated 100 days of learning in some fun and creative ways. Please check out the banner in the lobby, created by Ms. Lam and Dr. Hanewich's class. One class talked about how they would spend $100. One clever second-grade student said he would invest it and make more :) and another names 4 places she would donate it to. Ask your student how they celebrated. Our K friends will be celebrating the 100th day on Monday as they started school a day later.

Congratulations to Grade 1 for having the most PRIDE tickets in their bucket for the month of January! Grade 2 and 3 were runner ups! The buckets are empty again; Center staff, please keep encouraging and giving out PRIDE tickets to students and we look forward to having another winner during the month of February! Parents, please check in with your student(s) and ask them about how they can earn a PRIDE ticket.

As we enter the month of February, we are delighted to join in the celebration of Black History Month. This annual observance is an opportunity for us to reflect on and honor the incredible contributions of African Americans throughout history. Each week in February we will highlight a book recognizing the accomplishments of African Americans.
Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to receive a Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She was well known for her poetry. Check out one of her poems below; perfect for a cold February.
