Members of our third grade student council took on the role of "activist" today to spread a message about anti-idling laws during pick-up. They braved the wind and cold to spread the word!

Judith Jango-Cohen

Students in all grades learned about writing non-fiction from author Judith Jango-Cohen.  The third graders engaged in a writing workshop on a subsequent day.  We thank her for telling us about her experiences as a non-fiction author and sharing many fun facts!







Victoria Arlen

Our students were visited by motivational speaker and G.R.I.T expert, Victoria Arlen. Victoria’s life drastically changed in 2006 at the tender age of eleven when she developed two rare conditions known as Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. This was an incredibly rare scenario and Victoria quickly lost the ability to speak, eat, walk and move. She slipped into a vegetative state and Victoria spent nearly four years “locked” inside her own body completely aware of what was going on but unable to move or communicate. Doctors believed there was little hope of survival and that recovery was unlikely. In 2010 after almost four years she began the nearly impossible fight back to life.  Although she faced the devastating reality of paralysis from the waist down due to damage to her spine, she went on to exceedingly defy the odds and not only recovered but has since become an accomplished Motivational Speaker, Actress, Model, and Swimmer. Her swimming includes three Silvers and a Gold medal from the London 2012 Paralympic Games as well as multiple World, American and Pan American Records. Victoria recently joined ESPN as the youngest on-air talent and made her television debut this past Summer reporting at the Special Olympic World Games in Los Angeles. At just twenty-one years old Victoria has become world famous not only for her story and accomplishments but for her message:

“ Face It, Embrace It, Defy It, Conquer It “and “Rock Your Disability “




Happy Thanksgiving from our Preschool!
