Delta Dental will be visiting Anne Sullivan this Thursday and Friday to meet with students about tooth health and how to care for our teeth.

"What's the Difference" DAPA play
This afternoon our 4th students got to enjoy a play talking about differences across all groups of people. They talked to students on how to have courage, be unique, build resilience and stand up to peer pressure and bullying.
We want to thank the DAPA Program for always coming in and sharing their wonderful talents! 🎤😄
Fall MAP Testing is Complete!
All of our Anne Sullivan students finished their Fall MAP testing for both reading and math. The students worked hard and did their best to show all of their knowledge to start the 2023-2024 school year! Take a minute to check in with your student on how they think they did. We will take these tests again in the winter to check all of our growth!
Are they getting enough sleep?
As we begin to take on this new school year, sleep is more important than ever for all of our students. As students work to grow their brains each day, we know they need sleep to recover and retain all of the things they are learning! Studies show there are many benefits to getting enough sleep at night.
1. Sleep promotes growth.
2. Sleep helps the heart.
3. Sleep affects weight.
4. Sleep helps beat germs.
5. Sleep reduces injury risk.
6. Sleep increases kids' attention span.
7. Sleep boosts learning.
