Miriam Scholastic Book Fair
This year's Scholastic book fair was a huge success thanks to the organization of its co-chairs Patrice Janyska and Tammy Dunne! Through the generosity of our many volunteers and our busy shoppers the fair went way beyond our goal of $4,000 to collect a grand total of $5,460 in sales! Our Scholastic representative is astounded at the success of our fair and mentioned that "it shows what a commitment to literacy" our school has.

Safe Surf
This week Miriam School is talking about Internet Safety. The first of our Miriam Empowers Through Education workshops was held in the library last night. Kathleen Hawkins from Jewish Family and Children's Service came to speak with parents about the dangers facing our children in today's technological world.
The students in Rooms 1, 6, 7, 8 & 9 will participate in the student version of this workshop on Thursday, October 7. Recourses from the workshop are available in the office or can be found on the School Community Page on the Parent Resources page. I encourage you to discuss internet safety tips with your child at home to reinforce what they have learned here at school.
