It's Valentine's Week! -February 10-14th



 MATH NIGHT IS A GREAT SUCCESS!!!

Thank you so much to Melissa and her terrific committee for planning and executing such a great night. It also would not have been such a success if it weren't for all teachers, faculty and staff involved. You came up with great activities and games that reinforced the Common Core.  You all are awesome:) Thanks Ross for giving up your classroom again:)  Melissa did a lot of shopping on her own time for supplies and doorprizes. You showed great leadership in taking on this project. THANK YOU from every one of our students!!!

Family Fun!

These are just some of the books that we received from Barnes and Noble.  We are in the process of collecting sets to be put in the leveled book room and to be use throughout the school and classrooms. Thanks Connie, Kate and Juliette for helping me to unpack and organize so we can get them into kid's hands asap.

  1. I just wanted to say that I am so proud of you all for stepping up this week. We had an awesome SIT Meeting in which we discussed and reflected on some areas in which we needed to do some strategic thinking. Everyone was heard and we will work to solve our challenges. Math Night was awesome. This great events just don't happen. It takes teamwork and Teacher Leadership. Thank you all. When you look at the blog, you will see a lot of smiling faces. Diggs-Latham is a great place with caring and hard working people who put kids first! Thank you coaches for your expertise and buy-in to our vision. I AM ONE LUCKY PRINCIPAL:) Happy Valentine's Day!
