Thank you to our school psychologists who are an important piece of our community and help us to best serve students' needs! We are grateful for you and the work you do!
Pumpkin decorating is in full swing! Our classes are working hard (and having lots of fun!) getting their pumpkins ready for the big contest. Stay tuned to see their amazing creations!
We loved having Mrs. Fletcher back at Byrd as a guest reader! A beloved former teacher, Mrs. Fletcher continues to light up our hallways with her warmth and joy. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!
Mrs. Creasey's kindergarten class read the book We Are In A Book! (Elephant and Piggie). Then each student created a page about themselves and we "walked" our book to encore to read it to Mrs. Boisseau. The students loved being inside of their own book!
Mr. Kempf brought the Chick Fil A Leadership Academy from the high school to Byrd to read with our kids on our special reading day! Our eagles got to spend time with positive reading role models AND they got to take home a free book!
If anyone can turn Halloween week into a week of reading fun, its the community of Byrd Elementary School! We are looking forward to a great week!
Happy World Occupational Therapy Day!! We’re so thankful for our amazing Occupational Therapist, Dr. Newlon, who helps our students build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to thrive every day!
