Today was a day to celebrate and to share something truly special.
For the last decade, Dane, a wonderful former educator, lovingly known as D.D. to our SCS family, has shown up week after week to read to one of our classes. And if you’ve ever had the joy of meeting D.D., you know exactly what we mean when we say his eyes light up when he talks about his teaching years or begins sharing a story with children.
D.D. doesn’t just read a book. He turns every story into an adventure. He sparks imagination, brings characters to life, and fills the room with laughter and smiles. Our students don’t just listen; they experience stories because of him.
In honor of this incredible anniversary, our wonderful Clownfish class made homemade chocolate chip muffins to share with their beloved D.D., a small but heartfelt thank-you filled with so much love.
We are so incredibly lucky to have such a treasure of a human continue to come back and share his love, passion, and stories with our community. Thank you, D.D., for being exactly who you are. Our hearts (and our classrooms) are better because of you. 💛
If you’d like to support and show some love to D.D., he recently published a wonderful children’s book you can order on Amazon here:📘 Forward & Backwards & The Same

Happy Black History Month ❤️💛💚
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 isn’t a moment or a theme....it’s a driving force of our culture.
We believe learning is strongest when it is inclusive, honest, and rooted in respect, today and every day.

📚✨ Did you know? ✨📚 Through grant funding, Seacoast Community School was able to move and build a beautiful library and calming space for our students and teachers and it’s 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, it’s about belonging, well-being, and giving every child the tools they need to thrive. We’re so grateful for the funding that helped make this possible. 💙📖

❄️ Cold Weather Safety Tips for Kids ❄️
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:
🧥 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.
🧤 Cover the extras: Hats, mittens, and warm socks are must-haves! Mittens keep hands warmer than gloves.
👶 One-more-layer rule: Infants should wear one more layer than adults in the same weather.
🚗 Car seat safety matters: Skip bulky coats in car seats. Buckle the harness snugly, then place a blanket over your child for warmth.
🌡️ Know the temps: Limit outdoor play when wind chills drop below 20°F. At 0°F, frostbite can happen in minutes.
⏱️ Keep it short: Outdoor time should be brief....about 10–15 minutes for toddlers. Check hands, feet, ears, and noses often.
🚨 Watch for warning signs: Shivering, pale or waxy skin, or numbness are red flags. Head indoors right away if you notice any of these.
Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the winter season! ❄️🧣
