St. Patrick's Day
Thank you to all who helped make the 2024 St. Patrick's Day Celebration a grand event. Hundreds of families joined in the festivities and we all loved the Irish News Boys' band and the Shiloh Step Irish Dancers. Hundreds of toys were given to our young attendees, close to 200 Fairy Houses were built and 300 bags of popcorn, bagels and apple juice were passed out. Great thanks to the City of Healdsburg and Dan Zastrow for their support. Below are some photos from the day.
Healdsburg Kiwanis Supports Elementary School Reading by providing funding for books for 3rd Graders.
(From the National School Board's Association website: The research is clear: if children cannot read proficiently by the end of third grade, they face daunting hurdles to success in school and beyond. Third grade marks a pivot point in reading. In fourth grade, students begin encountering a wider variety of texts. By then, able readers have learned to extract and analyze new information and expand their vocabularies by reading (O’Brien, 2008). But struggling readers rarely catch up with their peers academically and are four times more likely to drop out of high school.) Below are some thank you letters from local 3rd Graders: |
