When you donate blood, you’re doing more than giving a unit of blood. You’re giving hope, healing, and a second chance to patients in need. Helping others feel good truly does feel good. Bring the good energy, make a difference, and be part of something meaningful.
March is Reading Month and we are making a SPLASH this year at Ithaca Jr/Sr High School!
Our theme is Under the Sea, and we are diving in headfirst with a month FULL of fun, slightly chaotic, absolutely fabulous dress-up days and activities for everyone!
Mermaids? Maybe.
Sharks? Definitely.
Pajamas? Yes!!!
Neon coral reef vibes? You better believe it.
We want the hallways swimming with ocean colors, beach day outfits, rainbow fish, college gear, B4 pride, and ALL the sea-inspired creativity you can come up with (school appropriate, of course).
The attached calendar has all the daily themes and activities mapped out, so plan ahead, grab your friends and go all in. The more people who participate, the more fun it is. Let’s see those classrooms dressed up!
And don’t forget to sail on down to the Media Center all month long to:
Check out our sea-life book displays
Explore new reads
Discover something you didn’t even know you’d love
Let’s make this the most FIN-tastic Reading Month yet.
No one stays dry. Everyone participates.
Sea you there!
