1. East families enjoyed an engaging evening Wednesday of hands-on learning as they rotated through classrooms dedicated to literacy, math, science, and movement. Each event was led by an East staff member and designed for students and families to explore together.
   
   
2. During a special evening event, literacy took center stage at Shiloh Park Middle School. Families and students gathered in the gym to participate in various literacy-focused activities. In addition to the hands-on fun in the gymnasium, the event also marked the official unveiling of the school's refreshed library space.
   
   
3. Beulah Park Elementary welcomed families to its annual Breakfast with Grown-Ups on Friday morning. Parents gathered before school to build community, enjoy a meal together, and engage in meaningful conversation about the school.
   
   
4. The ZCMS 8th grade girls' basketball team wrapped up their season with a perfect record—and a championship title to match! The team was recognized at the April 14 Board of Education meeting for their hard work and impressive run. Congrats to the squad on an unforgettable season!
   
   
5. Superintendent Dr. Lawson brought joy and excitement to Beulah Park School's Book Madness by reading Pig the Pug and Pig the Slob to the school's MLL students as part of their March and April best book bracket. We're so grateful for his support as we continue narrowing down our 16 book contenders to crown a winner!
