Christa McAuliffe Elementary

Last week, McAuliffe Elementary celebrated International Dot Day with a creative library project inspired by The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. Students used small paper plates to make their mark, and they had a blast expressing themselves and showcasing their unique creativity. The colorful dots are now proudly displayed in one of our hallways—ask your child to show you their mark!

🎉🧦 Our students showed off their school spirit yesterday with the most colorful and creative socks in support of Nikki Rowe’s Homecoming Week! 🌟 It’s always fun to see their personalities shine through in such a playful way. Great job, Challengers! 💚💛

🏃‍♂️🌅 Shoutout to our amazing early birds! 🌅🏃‍♀️
This morning, our dedicated students showed up bright and early at 7:00 AM to kick off our very first Morning Run Club of the year! 💪

They ran a full mile before the school day even started, showing us all what commitment, energy, and school spirit really look like! 👟🔥Great job Challengers!

McAuliffe was full of color and joy today as our students celebrated Diez y Seis de Septiembre with their festive outfits! A huge thank you to our parents and families for helping our students dress up and join in this special celebration of culture and tradition!

🎉✨ Happy International Dot Day! ✨🎉

We’re absolutely blown away by the creativity and spirit our students showed today! From polka dots to painted spots, their outfits were bursting with color and imagination. 🟡🔵🟠

Dot Day is all about making your mark, and our students did just that — with confidence, joy, and a whole lot of style. 👕🖌️💫

Thank you to everyone who dressed up and celebrated creativity, courage, and collaboration with us! 🌍❤️

We’re excited to celebrate International Dot Day on Monday, September 15! This fun day is all about creativity, courage, and making your mark — inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.

To join in the fun, we’re inviting all students to wear dots to school on that day — polka dots, dotted patterns, or anything dot-themed!

Thanks for helping us celebrate creativity!
