Chelsea Clinton
We are excited to announce that this Wednesday October 21st, Chelsea Clinton will be visiting the Curley K-8 school. Clinton is the daughter of Bill Clinton (42nd President of the United States) and Hillary Clinton (former US Secretary of State and current Democratic Presidential Candidate), and is in Boston to share her new book, It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going. In the book, aimed at young readers ages 10-14, Clinton breaks down some of the world’s biggest challenges and shares inspiring stories of young people who are already making an impact in their own communities and around the globe.
IT’S YOUR WORLD: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!
Clinton will be meeting with middle school students at the Curley K-8 School to complete projects that will benefit the entire school community as well as residents of Boston. In addition to painting murals to beautify our school with inspirational phrases and pictures, students will create academic resource kits for their lower-school peers. Students will also assemble and donate supply packs to the Pine Street Inn, a Boston organization seeking to end homelessness. Please email Maria Ploessl with questions mploessl@cityyear.org

Win
The “soft launch” of the WIN block for students in grades 3-8 over the past two weeks has given grade level teams the opportunity to work out logistics and student assignments. Once ANET testing is completed this week, we move into our next phase of WIN implementation, beginning October 26th, during which specific program instruction is expected to begin, if it hasn’t already. Rosters of students, by WIN placement, will be distributed this week for grade level teams to review and confirm, so that our WIN data spreadsheet is accurate and reflects current students’ assignments. Please take time during your grade team meetings to quickly review these rosters as well as confirm plans for moving students to their appropriate WIN rooms. Also, as standard operating procedure, all students should come to their WIN room with a pencil and an independent reading book, just in case technology is not working, or if substitutes are covering the period.Again, thank you for your continued hard work to assure that all Curley 3-8 students receive “what is needed” to be successful readers!
