Literacy Parade 2026: Stories Came to Life
Storybook heroes, fairy-tale royalty, pirates and superheroes filled our blacktop and fields for this year’s Literacy Parade. Every costume celebrated a book, a character or a story that sparked a child’s imagination.
What made this year special was seeing our whole RamFam come together. Our secondary string musicians played live music, student performers read aloud at the microphone, and teachers and staff joined in with costumes of their own. When older students lift up younger ones and adults model the joy of reading, our children learn that literacy is something WHe share as a community.
Thank you to the teachers, staff and families who made costumes, organized the route and cheered from the sidelines and to our student musicians and readers for showing our youngest learners what’s ahead.
Keep the story going at home: Read together tonight, and ask your child which character they’d pick next year. 🖤💛

📱 Screen Time: It's Not Just How Much, It's How!
How can we help children develop healthy screen time habits while making the most of technology as a learning tool?
We encourage our Cornwell Avenue families to check out the recent Khan Academy Kids webinar, Talking to Families About Screen Time, featuring our very own Dr. DiGregorio and Dr. Minicozzi!
The discussion explores the importance of looking beyond the number of minutes children spend on screens and considering what they are watching, how they are engaging, and what other activities screen time may be replacing.
💻 Watch the webinar here:

Together, we can help our children build healthy, balanced relationships with technology! 📚💙

Today at Cornwell Avenue, our students and staff completed our smoothest and most efficient fire drill yet!
Our students did an outstanding job following directions, exiting the building calmly and safely, and demonstrating the importance of being prepared.
Each drill helps us strengthen our safety procedures, and we are so proud of the progress our students continue to make!
A special thank you to our amazing staff for their teamwork and commitment to keeping our students safe.
