📚 Building Strong Readers! 📚
We are incredibly grateful to the Chatham Education Foundation (CEF) for generously contributing more than $73,000 this year to support the School District of the Chathams’ foundational literacy initiative! ❤️
This funding provided decodable readers for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2, as well as assessment resources to help our teachers monitor the growth and progress of our youngest readers.
As phonics and phonemic awareness continue to be emphasized in the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, these decodable texts are an important part of early literacy instruction and will be used regularly in K–2 English Language Arts classrooms.
Thank you, CEF, for investing in our youngest learners and helping them build strong foundations for a lifetime of reading! 📖✨

Students at SBS recently took part in a variety of Social and Emotional Learning activities centered around the theme of Growth Mindset, with a special focus on inventions. Students had the opportunity to interact with new peers, explore the stories behind famous inventions, and put their creativity to work by designing inventions of their own using materials like paper plates, pipe cleaners, and paper towel rolls.
