As we head into our busy month of May, I\u2019d like to take a moment to reflect on all that made April so special.<br \/>\nDiscovery Day was truly a highlight. Our theme, \u201cReading Takes You to Places,\u201d connected to both our character education focus and our State of the Week geography learning. It was inspiring to see students engaged and excited. Our first graders also made a lasting contribution to our school mural, adding their own handprints and  literally leaving their mark on Washington School.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, May is both a busy and meaningful month. Our third graders will participate in the NJSLA assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. We are also excited to showcase our students\u2019 talents during our Spring Concert and Art Show. In addition, we will come together as a school community for our annual Memorial Day Assembly, where we pause to honor and thank our local veterans for their service and sacrifice.<br \/>\nWe look forward to a fantastic month of May filled with learning and celebration.<br \/>\nUpcoming Events for May<\/p>\n<p>May 1:  Pajama and bring your favorite stuffie Day<br \/>\nMay 4-8:  Teacher Appreciation Week<br \/>\nMay 4:  3rd grade photo<br \/>\nMay 5-6, and 12-14: NJSLA for Grade 3<br \/>\nMay 12: New Parent Orientation  (Incoming 1st graders)<br \/>\nMay 14: Art Show<br \/>\nMay 15: Field Day (Rain Date is May 19)<br \/>\nMay 20: Veterans Assembly<br \/>\nMay 22: One Session Day<br \/>\nMay 25: Schools Closed<br \/>\nMay 29: 3rd grade visits Pierrepont School<\/p>\n<p>Warm Regards,<br \/>\nJessica Saxon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May at Washington School I hope you all had a wonderful spring break filled with sunshine, relaxation, and quality time with family and friends.
