Celebrating #QuinneyReads - All School Movie
This Friday, Dec. 23rd from 8-10 a.m. we will be watching the movie Bolt together as a school in final celebration of #QuinneyReads2022. Bolt was chosen due to the animal theme (including a hamster like Humphrey) and the positive messages of friendship, loyalty, determination, and teamwork. The EQ PAC is sponsoring an inflatable movie size screen and snacks for our event. Because the movie is rated PG, we would like to have parental/guardian permission for your child to view a PG movie. Please click here to complete a Google Form including checking your options for permission.
Thank you,
Mrs. Knapp & EQ Staff

Perseverance Newsletter:
We all experience challenges in our lives. Moments when we feel like we can’t do it, or that we want to give up. We need to develop tools to help us work through those challenges in order to grow in those moments instead of giving up. This month's focus for 2nd grade is on practicing Perseverance with the help of engagement.
