On Friday, February 13, 2026, Mrs. Cashmore`s and Mrs. Meredith`s classes at Hewes Center celebrated the 100th day of school by participating in a variety of STEM challenges that aligned cross-curricularly with all subject areas including SEL.
These challenges contained all things 100 where students were required to work collaboratively, testing and revising engineering solutions using defined constraints.
🎮 The Hewes Educational Center has been making great use of its interactive gaming system!
Since it was installed, students have enjoyed participating in a variety of interactive games that encourage movement, coordination, and engagement throughout the school day. The system has provided a fun way for students to stay active while building important skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.
It has been wonderful to see students smiling, moving, and cheering each other on as they explore the different activities the system offers. Opportunities like this continue to make learning interactive, engaging, and meaningful for our students.

Did you know that Read Across America Day coincides with world-renowned and beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss’s birthday?! The National Education Association established Read Across America in 1998 to motivate all children to read and is held yearly on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss’s birthday!
We highlight some important messages shared from our incredible E2CCB’s Science of Reading (SOR) team. Cassandra Godios states “Reading is escaping to unknown worlds and leaving behind the everyday, discovering new places, cultures, and people. But it is more than that. The words, the sentences, the pages carry power. I want all students to be given the power and instruction, and to feel capable readers, so they too can unlock knowledge, explore, unwind, and journey through a book.”
Connie Stahl, another instructor of the SOR team, says “Reading opens up doors to everything that you want to do in life. It enables you to experience places that you would never be able to go to physically. It allows you to have a conversation with people who lived long before you, and it helps you to accomplish anything that you want in the world of employment. On Read Across America Day, I always love to read Dr. Seuss because I find his imagination fascinating.”
Read Across America Day reminds us the importance of literacy and the fun of learning! Students and children are encouraged to think for themselves and connect with the stories they read and love. Let’s celebrate the joy of reading together!
