Week of January 29, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Copper Beech Family,
I hope your child enjoyed a full week back to school following the short week due to the snow storms. It was great to see the third-grade students enjoying our visit from the Abington Police station and their K-9 dog, Moose. In addition, some hard-working students earned the Cafe Fork and Spoon or the raffle for following the C.B. C.A.R.E.S. expectations. It is wonderful to see students engaged in their lessons as they get back into the routines of school after a short week. Thank you for all you have done to encourage your child to do their best on their i-Ready Diagnostic Assessment. We are excited to see the growth of students from the beginning of the school year! I hope you take some time to rest and enjoy your family over the weekend.
Best,
Ms. Stokes

K-9 Visit with 3rd Grade
Students in third grade read the story Aero and Officer Mike: Police Partners in their reading anthology. To enhance their learning, the third-grade teachers planned a very special visit with the Abington Police Department K-9 Unit.
