Message from Mrs. Sheppard - Hello Graham Families!
Happy Friday!
We are headed into our last week of school before Spring Break. That seems so crazy to me! Reading month is coming to an end but that doesn't mean we stop reading. Even reading to your child for 10 minutes per day; a bedtime story for example, can have a huge impact on literacy, confidence and school success. It can also strengthen the bond between a parent and child, help improve listening skills and attention and build empathy in a child. Reading does WONDERS for everyone!

This week, we’re excited to host our annual Ann Arbor Hands-On Science Night here at Graham! The event will take place on Wednesday, April 15th from 5:00–6:30 PM.
We appreciate all of the families who RSVP’d for dinner and prizes—thank you! This is always a fun-filled evening for all ages, with hands-on experiments and interactive activities provided by the museum. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students and families to explore, discover, and learn together. We hope to see you there!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Spring Break! Happy Easter to all of our families who celebrate. I hope you were able to spend some meaningful time with family and friends over the past week and into today.
We had a great week here at Graham! Reading month is still happening and we are really enjoying the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Every morning, we have a different staff member reading a chapter to the entire school. Students really seem to enjoy hearing the book from all of the different people that have been reading. To wrap up this wonderful month of reading, we will be hosting a Family Bingo Night for all of our Graham families! This will be a FREE event with food, books, games, and lots of prizes. We hope you can join us on Wednesday, March 25th beginning at 5:30 PM for a fun evening together celebrating reading!
Reading Month has been great so far! It has been so much fun talking with students about our book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. The students have been sharing great thoughts and connections, and I hope you are enjoying reading along at home as well.
We are almost to March and you know what that means… READING MONTH IS HERE!!!
This is truly one of my favorite months of the school year. It is such a joy to celebrate the love of reading with all of our students and their families. We sent a Reading Month note home earlier this week, and I’ve also attached it to this newsletter to keep you informed.
