Shenandoah Elementary School

It's School Library Month! Help us celebrate! Next, we have Ms. Elizabeth Kite, Stanley Elementary School Librarian. What's your favorite thing about being a school librarian? "My favorite thing about being the school librarian at Stanley Elementary is getting to work with every single learner in the student body, all 365 of them! She says, "We learn so very much about the world, about who we are, and about who we hope to become through stories. It is an incredible feeling and a powerful responsibility to be a part of that." Thank you, Ms. Kite, for exposing our children to the world of reading and all there is to learn. You are appreciated. p.s. Ms. Kite chose to use a recent portrait of her drawn by a 1st grader at Stanley as her picture. LOL

Be on the look out for some great pictures coming your way. Today, we continued our Kindness Initiative by distributing Be Kind- No Exceptions bracelets to every student and staff member of PCPS. This message was shared with all students during morning announcements. "Each day we interact with many different people who are experiencing many different things. How do we make a difference for each one of those different people? By being kind. Sometimes it only takes one act of kindness to change someone's life. Page County Public Schools continues its kindness initiative by reminding everyone to spread kindness. To help do that, we are distributing kindness wristbands as a reminder to be kind whenever possible, and it's always possible! We are so proud of all of our students and staff, and we know that all of you will continue to show kindness in a variety of ways. A simple act of kindness can change a person’s life. Be Kind. No Exceptions."
