Dear Wedgwood Families,
I hope your family enjoyed a restful and Olympic filled mid-winter break. Watching the talented athletes from around the world competing in our own “backyard” is a great reminder of the importance of global citizenship.
It is also a great way to get our students excited for our second annual Read Around the World (R.A.W.). Books are a great way to “visit” different countries with our children. It may not be feasible for us to all get into a plane and fly to other continents or drive up to Vancouver, but going to the library or going on line to get information on Europe and learning about the country of Georgia can bring the world right into your home.
Another way to visit the world is by attending cultural events. Many of our families enjoyed a bit of Asian culture during the 4th annual Wedgwood Lunar New Year Celebration. The Lunar New Year committee out did themselves yet again this year with amazing entertainment, a new and well received educational booth experience, great laughs, yummy food, and an opportunity to come together as a community. Thank you to the many volunteers, the committee, and the PTA for this year’s Lunar New Year celebration another amazing event!
