YOU'RE INVITED TO A SCREENING OF THE FILM CONFETTI In honor of World Dyslexia Month in October, Shelton will screen Confetti, an award-winning movie about dyslexia on Monday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. in Shelton's Black Box Theatre. Please use the Moody Fine Arts entrance by the baseball field. Snacks and water will be available. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion featuring parents Megan Carpenter, Jon Gross, Nellie Sciutto and Eric McGehearty, Associate Head of School Amy Cushner and moderated by Executive Director Suzanne Stell. Confetti is written, produced and directed by award-winning New York-based filmmaker Ann Hu, based on her own experiences. The film illustrates the journey of a 9-year-old girl named Meimei, who moves with her mother, Lan, from their small town in China to New York City. Meimei has struggled to be accepted in her school and community, in part because no one has successfully noticed that she suffers from dyslexia. Lan braves the move to New York, but finding the right school proves to be even more difficult than she could have anticipated. The film, which is appropriate for children 14 and up, has screened at Yale University, Harvard University, Chicago Foundation for Education, Teachers College Columbia University, The National Center for Learning Disabilities and more. In addition, the film will screen for the British Dyslexia Association followed by an opening night premiere at BAFTA in London followed by a special Gala Dinner at the House of Lords. |

UPPER ELEMENTARY: TOGETHERNESS DAY Everything is better together in Upper Elementary. For the last two weeks, students took turns reading a quote about what togetherness means to them. The project culminated with a togetherness chain made by linking their favorite quotes. These weeks of thinking about what it means to be "together" ended Friday at Togetherness Day. The event included students enjoying team building games and singing the school song. Congratulations to Meredith Allison's advisory for winning the Togetherness Tug of War. They are the 2022 Champions! |
