Dear Washington Wizards,
As we step further into April, there’s a sense of fresh energy and possibility all around us! Students are already beginning to explore new skills and interests in creative ways. From trying something completely new to building on a growing passion, it’s exciting to see curiosity take the lead. This week, we encourage you to keep that momentum going at home, ask your child what they’re learning and maybe even try something new together. Growth is always more fun when it’s shared!
Shout-Outs & Spotlights
Around the World - A huge shout-out to our first and second graders for their outstanding performance today! Their hard work truly paid off. We also want to thank Mrs. Manzo for her time and dedication in making the show such a success.
