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!
We’re so proud of our McAuliffe students who worked hard to read the MOST WORDS this last week. Keep up the great work, and remember—this week could be you!
🎉🧦 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! 💚💛
