Last evening, each of our elementary schools hosted a Title I Night called the Amazing Reading Race! Students read clues with their families and raced around the building to find teachers that shared about the five pillars of literacy. Families also got materials to practice and take home to continue practicing reading skills at home. The partnership between teachers, students, and families are game changing for student success!
Reminder: All Trash Bag Fundraiser orders are due tomorrow (3/21)! Thank you for your support!
Congratulations to Lexi Lockmiller, Pleasant Lake Montesorri's Teacher of the Year! Her dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for learning are truly appreciated and make her an invaluable asset to our school!

Happy Friday! We've had an extremely busy and fun week at PLM! Our second grader students are LOVING swim lessons at the YMCA. The Fort Wayne Philharmonic performed for all grades.

We love that we are able to extend our learning beyond the classroom walls.
