Thank You Corner
Thank you so much to the Trinity Irish Dancers for coming to Brickton to perform for us and spread their St. Patrick’s Day cheer.  A special thanks to Ellie Arnoldt, Baito Sarkiss, Liadan Sarkiss, Francesca Sarkiss and Stanley Sarkiss, current students, for dancing and alum Samara Perkinson for serving as the Show Captain.

Brickton Reads
How about a new school vacation tradition that is bound to pay off?  It's called The Book on the Bed. This idea comes from the Family Reading Partnership and Ask Amy (Chicago Tribune) as a grassroots literacy campaign.  Their goal was to "raise a generation of readers." It was inspired by the author David McCullough who woke to a wrapped book on his bed every Christmas morning during childhood.  Here’s how it works for your Spring Break:
1. Choose a book.
2. Wrap it.
3. Place it on your child’s bed so it's the first thing he/she sees to kick off your vacation
What a great new tradition!
