On Wednesday, October 23rd, amazing local artist, Jean Ellen Sotansky, created a beautiful mural with our Malta Ave students, staff, and families. It was an incredible afternoon with our special Malta Ave community! We could not be more grateful to Jean for working with our community to beautiful our outdoor garden space. A huge thank you to our PTA for organizing this event!

October was National Bullying Prevention Month. We spent the month promoting kindness, inclusivity, and respect. Mrs. Rudolph, our incredible librarian, and Ms. Jae, our library aide, taught lessons during library related to upstander behavior. Additionally, all classes read Kindness Grows. Additionally, Mrs. Rudolph and Ms. Jae created a beautiful unity tree with students, which is now outside of our auditorium.
