	Unity Day October 22 October is National Bullying Awareness Month, and Wednesday, October 22, is Unity Day, the signature event established by the PACER Center. Unity Day is a moment to WEAR and SHARE ORANGE to come together in one giant message uniting our nation for kindness, acceptance and inclusion, and even the world, to visibly show that we believe no child should ever experience bullying.
	Library Lessons @ Edgewood Our first graders have been learning from Ms. Turner about library etiquette, book genres, and how to browse the shelves to find books to enjoy! Developing respect for books and library materials is one small step on the road to helping every student to develop a lifelong love of literature and research. Our K-12 library program fosters the information fluency skills required for independent and lifelong learning, and the digital competencies students need to navigate a complex information landscape.
	Our School is a Family! Heathcote students and teachers have been thinking about how we treat our family, and what it means to be a friend through the study of the shared text Our School is a Family by Shannon Olsen. School-wide texts help learners across grade levels to build a shared understanding of important ideas, and to develop connections with one another. Shared texts also help all students in our schools to feel seen, heard, and valued.
	Paint the 'Dale Sunday! Paint the 'Dale, a first-ever community mural event, will take place on October 12, 2025, from 8 am to 1 pm in Chase Park. All residents and members of our school community are invited to participate in this free, family-friendly event where you can help paint a mural and enjoy art activities, crafts, and games.
