LucieLink – News and Communications for St. Lucie Public Schools
Cynthia Pilloni, Vice President of Community Relations at PNC Bank, read a Curious George book to students in Ms. Frazier and Mrs. Mccuthchen’s VPK classroom. A special appearance was made by Curious George himself. PNC and the Education Foundation of St. Lucie County donated books to all SLPS children as part of the Jumpstart’s 19th annual Read for the Record event where thousands of classrooms, libraries, and communities come together to celebrate early literacy.
The annual Family Fun Fair took place on Saturday, April 13th at the Fenn Center. SLPS VPK teachers and paraprofessionals from Parkway Elementary (Kimberly Davis and Melissa Tucker) and Mariposa Elementary (Claudia Bonilla and Terri Johnson) engaged children and families in learning about the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards and how to support student learning through creating, playing, and pretending. Every child took home materials and a handout of ideas to continue learning at home. A special appearance was made by Curious George (Mary Huffstetter).
