The American Education Week celebration began when the National Education Association became upset that 25 percent of the country's World War I draftees were illiterate and 29 percent were physically unfit. As a resolution to this problem an educational week would be observed to inform "the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs."

We are including Family Engagement activities this week. Family Engagement activities are an important part of our school's success. An activity may be planned in each classroom during the week.  Your child's teacher will be sending additional information soon.
