April 2023
Happy April everyone! Now that Winter and Spring have finished battling (smile), we finally made it to a month full of blooming flowers and warming weather. Be sure to take time to find some enjoyment in the mist of the beautiful weather. Outdoor activities such as morning walks, bike rides and jogging can be very beneficial to the mind and body.
The month of APRIL is special for many reasons. Below are some topics/celebrations you can have with your students/staff to celebrate the month.
National Poetry Month
Diversity Month (Celebrates the similarities and differences in each other)
April 2 – World Autism Awareness Day
April 22 – Earth Day
Title V Updates – As a reminder, April 14, 2023, is the deadline to submit your SRSA (Small, Rural, School Achievement) Program application.
