At Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary School, Alyssa Welzien's 4th grade class recently embarked on a compelling book study of the novel "Shiloh." The heartwarming story inspired students to take action and make a difference in their community. Motivated by the themes in the book, they created posters to help advertise the needs of four animals awaiting adoption at the local ARRF Animal Rescue. These thoughtful posters are now displayed at Roslyn Grocery, showcasing the students' creativity and compassion. This project is a wonderful example of how our students are developing critical thinking skills and using their learning to positively impact the community. We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and empathy!

Partial Solar Eclipse Eye Safety: with the solar eclipse that will be partially visible tomorrow, Monday, April 8th, we want to take a moment to remind you of the importance of safety precautions for your child's eyes during this rare celestial event. Students will be instructed not to look or glance directly at the sun during the eclipse. While this precaution is being taken, it is essential for parents/guardians to reinforce this message at home, emphasizing the dangers of looking at the sun even when it is partially obscured during the eclipse. In the event that your child experiences any symptoms related to eye discomfort or vision changes following the eclipse, it is crucial to seek professional evaluation from an eye care specialist. Please remember that our school staff are not qualified to assess for eye damage, and it is the responsibility of parents/guardians to ensure the well-being of their children in such circumstances. We appreciate your cooperation in prioritizing the safety and health of our students during this exciting astronomical event. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at nursesd@cersd.org.
