We are well into our One School, One Book: Wishtree.  We hope you are enjoying reading at home and discussing this wonderful story as a family.  For the next few weeks, we will be giving students a chance to answer trivia questions about the book to win some fabulous for prizes! Please be on the lookout for online-only trivia questions which will be posted on our social media accounts: @paulroadschool.

DAY OF PLAY:
This year’s day of play is scheduled for Friday, March 22nd.  If you are new to Paul Road, our Day of Play is an opportunity for our school community to turn off electronic devices and interact with each other through various play-based activities.  We spend the entire day playing board games, playing outside, building structures and much more! It has become a wonderful opportunity for our students to build relationships and practice a host of social skills.

“VLOG”
