Happy Black History Month โค๏ธ๐๐
This month, we honor the history, achievements, and ongoing contributions of Black leaders, educators, and communities, while reaffirming our commitment to creating spaces where every child and family feels seen, valued, and supported. At Seacoast Community School, inclusion isnโt a moment or a theme....itโs a driving force of our culture.
We believe learning is strongest when it is inclusive, honest, and rooted in respect, today and every day.

๐โจ Did you know? โจ๐ Through grant funding, Seacoast Community School was able to move and build a beautiful library and calming space for our students and teachers and itโs already making a big impact.
A strong library does more than hold books. It supports early literacy, builds language skills, sparks imagination, and helps children develop a lifelong love of learning. Research shows that access to books at a young age is directly linked to academic success and confidence.
Just as important, our calming space gives children a safe place to reset. Calm, sensory-friendly environments have been shown to reduce stress, support emotional regulation, improve focus, and help children return to learning feeling grounded and supported.
This space is about more than reading, itโs about belonging, well-being, and giving every child the tools they need to thrive. Weโre so grateful for the funding that helped make this possible. ๐๐

โ๏ธ Cold Weather Safety Tips for Kids โ๏ธ
Winter fun is great, but staying warm and safe is key! Here are a few quick reminders to help little ones enjoy the cold comfortably:
๐งฅ Layer up smartly: Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a warm middle layer (like fleece), and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Layers trap heat and can be adjusted if kids get too warm.
๐งค Cover the extras: Hats, mittens, and warm socks are must-haves! Mittens keep hands warmer than gloves.
๐ถ One-more-layer rule: Infants should wear one more layer than adults in the same weather.
๐ Car seat safety matters: Skip bulky coats in car seats. Buckle the harness snugly, then place a blanket over your child for warmth.
๐ก๏ธ Know the temps: Limit outdoor play when wind chills drop below 20ยฐF. At 0ยฐF, frostbite can happen in minutes.
โฑ๏ธ Keep it short: Outdoor time should be brief....about 10โ15 minutes for toddlers. Check hands, feet, ears, and noses often.
๐จ Watch for warning signs: Shivering, pale or waxy skin, or numbness are red flags. Head indoors right away if you notice any of these.

๐ Holiday Fun at Seacoast Community School! ๐
Here at Seacoast Community School, weโve been learning about all the holidays this time of year! The Sea Turtles made latkes, shredding, mixing, frying, and enjoying them with sour cream & applesauce. ๐
Some of our classes also explored the menorah, shamash, and other Hanukkah traditions with sensory play and games. โจ

โจ Last week, we had some magical holiday elves show up! โจ
Okayโฆ they werenโt really elves ๐ but it sure felt like Christmas around here! A HUGE shout-out to Lonza and their incredible volunteers for rolling up their sleeves and tackling some seriously MAJOR painting projects that have been on our to-do list for way too long.
Your time, energy, and generosity made such a big difference, and our space is already feeling brighter and more welcoming because of you. We are so grateful. Thank you for spreading so much holiday cheer! ๐๐จ๐
