This week, our students explored the power of words with the book "Martin’s Big Words" by Doreen Rappaport. They brainstormed "Power Words," discussed what it means to be a "Peaceful Warrior," and created illustrated posters showcasing inspiring words.
These posters will soon decorate our hallways as a reminder of how words can shape a better world.
Third-grade students at Pritchett have been busy preparing for an amazing year ahead! After reading One Word for Kids, they each chose a word to focus on for 2025. To bring their intentions to life, they completed adorable winter bear crafts, wrote their focus word, and shared thoughtful descriptions of why they chose it.
Yesterday, Dr. McIntyre stepped into the new year in style with custom D102 sneakers, a thoughtful gift from our talented Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Growth, Dr. Sostak! 🎉👟
The day was more than just a fashion statement—it was an opportunity for staff to come together, dive deeper into data and assessments, and strengthen our commitment to meeting the needs of every student.

💛 Happy #WorldKindnessDay! Today, our students and staff came together across the district to celebrate kindness by wearing their brightest yellow! 🌞 Each letter in YELLOW represents a key part of what kindness is all about:
✨ Y is for You—kindness starts with each of us. ✨ E is for Engage—connecting with others with an open heart. ✨ L is for Listen—taking time to truly hear one another. ✨ L is for Learn—about one other. ✨ O is for Offer—lending a hand whenever we can. ✨ W is for We—because kindness is something we build together.
By wearing yellow, we’re raising awareness that kindness can brighten our community. 🌼 Be nice. Be kind. Be yellow. 💛 #BeYellow #KindnessDay #ChooseKindness
🍂🍁 Cozy vibes and team pride! 🍁🍂 Our third grade teachers at Pritchett School are staying warm and stylish in their team gear this fall!
