Week Of The Young Child

Washington School tecahers tie-dye their T-shirts for the Week of the Young Child.

As a time honored tradition, the primary grade teachers of Washington Community School are getting creative to think of activities and programs for the young students. To kick off the week, teachers and students tie-dyed t-shirts in Washington colors to show their pride. Ms. Morreale ordered the beautiful colors from a company in Colorado. All the teachers and students gathered in the cafeteria to do the coloring. “Everyone is very excited about this project,” said Ms. O’Connor. Both teachers and students were having fun making patterns and coloring the shirts. Everyone will be wearing the shirts on Friday. Other activities taking place this week are the Annual Week of The Young Child Dinner to be held Tuesday night at the Chandelier at 4:00pm.
