Mrs. Shiffler and Mrs. Warley's 1st grade class had a wonderful time celebrating Disability Awareness Week in their classroom! Here are a few highlights: One of their parents visited to read a story about autism and guided them through an activity focused on celebrating neurodiversity. They also learned about other disabilities, including visual impairment, and had the opportunity to explore braille throughout the school!

Congratulations to our February Students of the Month!
We had an incredible start to Read Across America Week here at Ocean City Primary School! Our classrooms were filled with excitement as members of our wonderful community joined us to share their love of reading with our students.
A very special thank you to the Ocean City Free Public Library for their extraordinary generosity in donating Mo Willems books to every single student. Because of you, our children will continue the joy of reading long after this week ends!
We are so grateful to all of our Community guest readers who took time out of their day to make this event so meaningful.
Here’s to a week full of stories, imagination, and reading fun!
Next week, we’re celebrating Read Across America Week at Ocean City Primary School with our exciting theme:
“Read ‘Mo’ Books!”
Celebrating beloved children’s author Mo Willems and the joy of reading!
Throughout the week, students will participate in fun, themed days designed to inspire a love of books and bring stories to life. Each day’s theme is listed on the graphic below — be sure to check it out so your child can join in the fun!
We can’t wait to celebrate reading together and encourage our students to read “Mo” books than ever before!
