Our Sea Turtles have been exploring the life cycle of an apple and turning learning into art! ๐ขโค๏ธ Using some of our leftover apples, our little artists experimented with apple printing, discovering how cutting apples in different ways creates all sorts of fun shapes and patterns. From hands-on science to creative expression, we love finding new ways to learn, explore, and create together! ๐โจ

We loved welcoming our local community heroes to Seacoast Community School! Our students had the chance to learn all about the important work they do to keep our community safe, and even explore the fire trucks and ambulance up close!
There were plenty of wide eyes, big smiles, and excited kiddos as they discovered these amazing vehicles and the people behind them.
Thank you, Portsmouth Fire and Rescue, for taking the time to visit, inspire our little learners, and make such a memorable day! Weโre so grateful for our community heroes! โค๏ธ

This is what it looks like to #GiveLikeDolly. Today we're celebrating 9-25, in honor of Dolly and her Imagination Library.
Right here at Seacoast Community School, 174 children receive a free book every month through Dolly Partonโs Imagination Library.
Behind every book is a community of people who believe in the power of giving, our donors, volunteers, local partners and supporters who help make this program possible. Today, September 25, Give Like Dolly Day, you can help us reach even more children and families in the Seacoast. Every gift helps us continue building a community where children can grow up surrounded by the joy of books and reading. In the words of Dolly "Working 9 to 5"!
Help us make an even bigger impact for our students: https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/affiliate/NHSEACOAST/

Our Sea Turtles took some time to look inward and express themselves through self-portraits! From thoughtful details to creative interpretations, we love seeing the world through their eyes, and watching their artistic sides shine. โจ
Thereโs nothing quite like seeing a child say, โThis is me!โ through art. ๐ฅฐ๐จ




Just hanging out, soaking up the sunshine, and making sure everyone knows whoโs really running the show around here. ๐โ๏ธ
Play hard. Smile big. Swing high. ๐

We remember the lives lost, the families who were forever changed, and the countless first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage and compassion in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
May we never forget the lives behind the numbers, the stories behind the names, and the strength of a community that came together to care for one another.
Today, we remember. We honor. We stand together. โค๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
