 Hello AmPark Family, While it’s not the official start of summer, Memorial Day Weekend can feel, to many, like the kick off to the warm weather season. I hope that all of our families are able to spend a little bit of extra quality time (or perhaps can find some solace in alone time if that is what is needed!) this weekend engaging in activities that help you to feel refreshed. I would also encourage families to find a moment for remembrance of the sentiment of the day. You might consider participating in the “National Moment of Remembrance.” This law was enacted in December of 2000 and is outlined further by the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs below: The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”  Our first One Book, One School event finished this Friday and we loved seeing our kiddos tuning in for the mystery reads of each chapter and subsequent book talk. We are going to continue this initiative by reading the next title in the series… Rich a Dyamonde Daniel Book. Are you worried that you missed book 1 and need to catch up? Just look here on the website under Remote Learning Magic Read Alouds and all of the chapters are right there!
