Ambler February Newsletter

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the third quarter! This school year is flying by. Please remind your children to stay focused and give their best effort as we approach the final stretch. There aren't many school days left, so let's finish strong!

For those who prefer having all important dates in one place.

The One Ambler One Book program will begin on Friday, January 31st! Our goal is to create a strong community of readers at Ambler Elementary School, and we invite every student, staff member, and parent to join us in reading the assigned chapters each night. By doing so, we can come together to discuss the exciting adventures of Fenway and Hattie.

We also encourage all students to take part in the program by engaging with the activities in the packet, as well as participating in the writing and art contest. Packets and copies of the book will go home on Friday, January 31st. All submissions are due to Mrs. Vaughan by Friday, March 7th, and the winners will be celebrated at Literacy Night on Tuesday, March 11th. We look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity and enthusiasm!
