Greetings CAMS Families:
This week is a celebration of reading that aligns with National Read Across America Day (March 5th). The Connecticut Education Association with the support of 32Sports will be hosting events this week with a theme of “Tackling Reading”. Football players including former NFL players, D1 college athletes, and high school football players will be meeting with our students to share the challenges and successes of being a student athlete.
We are kicking off our celebration this Monday with two pep rallies in the gym. Students will participate in in relay races, catching drills, spelling bees, and other word/vocabulary skill games.
Be sure to ask your child about these exciting activities!
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
