Autism Awareness Week

The week we return from Spring Break, we will be kicking off Autism Awareness Week at PRE!

Below is a list of activities planned for the week...

Light It Up Blue! - All students are encouraged to wear blue throughout the week Monday - Friday. If a student is spotted wearing blue, he or she just might receive a small treat or be featured on the school's news show. All teachers will also have a blue light bulb in use in their classrooms.  

Buddy Up Inclusion Activities: Classes will pair up to participate in 10-15 minute activities designed to be all inclusive.  These activities are intended to serve as the perfect opportunity to teach tolerance and demonstrate behavior that is welcoming of all.  

Activities include:

• Monday-Buddy up and read
• Tuesday-Buddy up and play a game
• Wednesday-Buddy up and make a craft
• Thursday-Buddy up and parachute
• Friday-Buddy up and have a dance party

We look forward to all Explorers participating in some way and encourage families to ask students to share thoughts and/or lessons learned from the week's planned activities.

Camp Discovery

This week members of our Girls of Leadership and Distinction (G.O.L.D.) and Kind Intelligent Noble Gentlemen Students (K.I.N.G.S.) mentoring programs participated in a field study to Camp Discovery.  While there, the students were able to hike along a nature trail and engage in several team-building activities.  The students had a great time and they represented Polo Road like the young lady leaders and gentlemen we are nurturing and teaching them to be.  We are therefore #PoloProud!  

Super Soil Science

This week, our 5th graders had the opportunity to engage in some super soil science investigations.  This allowed them to learn more about erosion, weathering, and soil composition, while also participating in some hands-on science discoveries.

After Care Field Study

The 4th and 5th grade students enrolled in Polo Road's Afternoon Explorers' program took a field trip to E.L. Wright Middle school to support the Colonial Day event presented by students in the Leadership at Wright (LAW) program.
