Drayton Public School 19

Today we celebrated Global School Play Day and National Read Aloud Day the best way we know how in Pre-K! 🎉 We kicked things off by reading Crazy Pizza Day, then spent more than our usual hour enjoying uninterrupted playtime. During play, our Pre-K friends helped set up a brand-new Preschool Pizzeria in the dramatic play area and used materials from all around the classroom to create their very own crazy pizzas. So much creativity, teamwork, and learning through play — just the way Pre-K should be! 🍕❤️ #GlobalSchoolPlayDay #NationalReadAloudDay #LearningThroughPlay #PreKFun #CrazyPizzaDay

After Mother Nature canceled the first two scheduled tournaments of the year, our Drayton Bomber Speech team was finally able to attend their first meet of the season on Saturday at Central Valley. Congratulations to Jonah for a third-place finish in Impromptu Speaking, to Brooklynne for attending her first tournament and finishing seventh in Speech-to-Entertain, and to Stephanie for edging out many competitors in Humorous Interpretation, the meet's largest event. Well done, Bombers! 👏
