 Chorus Prepares for "A Night on Broadway"
Members of the Canterbury Woods 5th and 6th grade Chorus are busy rehearsing for their upcoming concert on Monday, June 3rd. We will perform for students in an all-school assembly at 3:00 PM and family and friends are invited to attend the 7:00 PM concert. Our theme is “A Night on Broadway.” We have been working on songs from musicals such as, “Les Miserables,” “Wicked,” and “Hairspray.” You won’t want to miss this exciting show!
 National Walk/Bike to School Day - May 17th
Ms. D’Amato and Mr. Healey are excited to promote National Walk/Bike to School Day on Friday, May 17th. This is a great opportunity to start the day off the right way while taking a safe route to school. The support of the Canterbury Woods community in this initiative would be a huge help! Please join us as we look to inspire our students to seek more daily exercise!

Author Karen Kane Visit Local Bookstore
Bards Alley, an independent bookstore located in Vienna, Virginia will host an Author visit on Sunday, May 19, 2:00 pm. The event is called "Diversity in Middle Grade," and features middle-grade authors Karen Kane and Naomi Milliner, who have both written books about deaf and disabled characters: Charlie and Frog and Super Jake & The King of Chaos. The event is free to attend, but requires an RSVP on our Facebook page. Karen Kane visited CWES in the fall and talked with our students. CWES families who purchase books that day will receive a 10% discount!
We hope to have an ASL interpreter and a Cued Speech transliterator at the event if there are any deaf or hard of hearing children or adults who plan to attend. (Anyone who needs one should reach out to me directly at sarah@bardsalley.com.) Please pass along this information to anyone who you think might be interested!
