Raegan collected books to donate to Sophie's giving tree for her birthday. This organization donates books for the hospital in memory of their daughter for sick children to have while staying there.

Way to go, Raegan!

We collected 492 items and everything goes to Baldwinsville families. Some of the Positivity Project character strengths that our students and their families showed are kindness, and teamwork/citizenship and love.

Last week our librarian, Mrs. Zaitzeff, invited kindergarten and first grade students to share their perspectives on favorite read alouds. Each child voted for one book and was given an "I Voted," sticker to wear home that day. #perspective

Several students delivered these notes to their former kindergarten teacher. It sure brightened their day and was fun to see what they remember about their days in K!
