The Sequim School District’s teacher-librarians invite all students and their families to attend the Annual Family Reading Night on Jan. 23 at Sequim Middle School. The event hosts an array of fun activities focused on literacy, and all students — pre-K through 12th graders — will leave with a free book at the end of the evening. Stay tuned for more information from each schools’ teacher-librarian.
GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
To help families in the community this holiday season, Greywolf students are holding a food drive for the Sequim Food Bank to collect non-perishable food items over the next couple of weeks. Each day for 12 days (through Dec. 18), a certain item from the food bank’s wish list will be collected and donated, though other donations may be substituted. Each day, the class that brings the most items will earn bonus recess. A daily calendar is being sent home, but you can see the schedule at gwe.sequimschools.org.
HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Carrie Rodlend, a local artist who visits Helen Haller Elementary each week to do art lessons, visited Jasmine McMullin’s class last week to give a lesson on observation and form. Rodlend had students look closely at an apple and its form and draw it using oil pastels.
