From the Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians:
It is important to remember that our children are unique and special. Each one of them brings the promise of hope. Each one of them has remarkable interests and abilities. They are our life's work. As Mother's Day approaches I hope you will look at your child's attributes of curiosity, perseverance, empathy,flexibility, resilience as well as social awareness, and congratulate yourself for opening your child's mind to embracing these traits.
Happy Mother's Day to all!

Sincerely,
Mary Petrone

Book of the Month

Check out  book of the month for the month of May - Catching the Moon The Story of a Young Girl's Baseball Dream by Crystal Hubbard.

If there was anything in the world better than playing baseball, Marcenia Lyle didn't know what it was. As a young girl in the 1930s, she chased down fly balls and stole bases, and dreamed of one day playing professional ball.
With spirit, spunk, and a great passion for the sport, Marcenia struggled to overcome the objections of family, friends, and coaches, who felt a girl had no place in the field. When she finally won a position in a baseball summer camp sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals, Marcenia was on her way to catching her dream.

Full of warmth and youthful energy, Catching the Moon is the story of the girl who grew up to become the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team. Readers everywhere will be inspired by her perseverance and determination to succeed.
