School-wide International Dot Day Celebration!

 Dot Day is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration, inspired by the children’s book "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. It is observed annually on September 15th.

Dot Day encourages people of all ages to make their mark and see where it takes them- a central message from The Dot, which tells the story of a girl named Vashti who discovers her artistic potential starting with just a single dot on a piece of paper.

Key Themes:

Creativity: Everyone is encouraged to create something, starting with a simple dot, this could be through art, writing, music, or other forms.

Confidence: It emphasizes taking the first step, even if you're unsure of your abilities.

Encouragement: The story highlights the importance of encouraging others to express themselves.

Remember, Dot Day can be celebrated every day in our own way! 

Although Dot Day at Lafayette will look a little different this year- students will be able to engage in Dot Day inspired activities throughout the school day on September 15th and have independent creative opportunities at recess.

3-5 students have started celebrating Dot Day a little early to have their work on display for the special day!
