Read Across America Events a Huge Success — Naturally!
You would be hard-pressed to find an event that exemplifies the unbreakable bond between the Everett Public Schools (EPS) and the community than Read Across America Week. From former educators and current district personnel to elected officials and city employees, our annual list of readers is as diverse as Everett itself. We thank everyone who found time in their schedules to read to our young students and, once again, ensure that the EPS celebrates Read Across America in style!

Inside Our Classrooms
Whittier School sixth-grade teachers Rachel Hughes and Krista Davis held a Slinky Lab last week, giving sixth graders an interactive way to explore the effects of wavelength and amplitude on the size of a wave. A great lesson in any classroom — perhaps a little more so inside the home of the Whittier Waves!

School Social Worker Week
March 3-7 is School Social Worker Week, which gives us the chance to acknowledge and celebrate the critical and essential work performed every day by our school-based Social Workers/SACS/Clinicians. Pictured above is the Everett High School team (L-R) Carolyn Troy, Jennifer Guerrero, Coral Santos, Jackie Disch, and Tatyana Frederick. To help mark the occasion, allow us to borrow a statement that Ms. Troy likes to include in communications with her colleagues:
In case you haven't heard it yet today, let me be the one to remind you that you are valuable beyond measure, what you do makes a difference, you are enough exactly as you are, and you have a light within you and the world needs you to shine it!
To our social workers — and all EPS personnel — have a great weekend!
