We had a lot of fun this March. We celebrated Dr Seuss Week and Green Day across all of our sites and our remote classes and introduced Fun Friday afternoon activities! Wishing our entire P255Q Community a fabulous Spring break and looking forward to seeing everyone whether in person or online on April 5th.

Throughout February all sites spent some time focussing on the valuable contribution of black artists, musicians, scientists, civil rights activists and other notable African Americans to US history. Here are some photos of our work.

We had a lot fun at all sites both online and in person celebrating February holidays from different cultures such as Valentines Day and the Lunar New Year.

We have been celebrating Respect for Al Cultures Week at 255. Here is a wonderful Digital Quilt created by the remote students at 397. Click on the quilt to open. Then click on the patches to zoom in. You can return to the whole quilt by clicking on the logo in the corner.
