The Brickton Weekly, March 7, 2014

Thank You Corner
Thank you to Stefan and Malina Joyce’s family for attending Sunday’s open house to help out and welcome visitors to our school.  It was so thoughtful and your help is so much appreciated.
Getting to Know You: Each week this section will highlight one staff member and their answer to the question: How do you express your creativity?
Molly Arnoldt, Director of Advancement
Creativity comes out in me when I am in the kitchen - my favorite place to be!  If I'm not trying out new spices in this or that pasta, I'm whipping up batches of sweets for our Sunday extended family dinner. I have always expressed the love I have for my family and friends through wonderful, new and interesting foods.

Brickton Reads

Brickton readers marched into March with a variety of books in hand.  Dotty Schweitzer just ordered Dr. Wayne Dyer's I Can See Clearly Now. Pat Moran is returning to James Patterson. Molly Arnoldtfondly, and somewhat tearfully, remembers reading The Red Tent.  Son of Molly and alum of Brickton SeanArnoldt is working on Romeo and Julie along with other Fenwick freshmen.  Another alum, Christina Toro, and mom Jackie are lovingthe Divergent series. This popular title is also being bookmarked by Charles Martin.
In celebration of Read Aloud Day and Read Across America Day, Lower Elementary Book Buddies were treated to a Playaway Day:  thirty different titles in the form of Playaway Books. Ask your Lower Elementary student about his/her Playaway experience.  We are all looking forward to reading our own authors' Slam Poetry when Upper Elementary students return from their Open Books field trip.
