PreK-3 Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
PreK-3 celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day by learning about his life and legacy of kindness, equality, and achieving our dreams. In our PreK-3 classroom, we have dreams of being firefighters, superheroes, veterinarians, and zookeepers! After the celebration PreK-3 went around from classroom to classroom to deliver a written message of how important it is to believe in ourselves and to be kind to others. (John: 13:35 )

Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the SRLA gym from Sunday, January 29 through Thursday, February 2.
 
Every year, students look forward to browsing the fair and its wide selection of favorite authors, popular series, holiday gifts, and much more. All purchases benefit SRLA, so please stop by and support us!
 
Get ready ahead of time by setting up your eWallet, a safe cash-free way for your child to shop. And new this year, contribute to your teacher's eWallet and they can choose a book for their classroom, courtesy of your generosity.
