NWEA Celebration
On Feb. 7, Arno held its first NWEA Rewards Assembly to celebrate student achievement. Students in grade 3-5 had an opportunity to earn an extra recess reward, and a certificate by either reaching their own personal growth goal, or meeting the grade level cut score or above on the NWEA assessment that was taken in January. we also took the Top 10 reading scores in each grade and rewarded them with a movie on Feb. 8. During the assembly, students were recognized with a certificate and another charm for their MSTEP necklace. Congratulations to all of Cougars on their accomplishments!

February is Black History Month!
Every day this month, the Arno Announcements are highlighting a special African American person in history – ranging from Rosa Parks to Lebron James! During these announcement videos, students are learning interesting facts and accomplishments by past and present scientists, athletes, artists, activists and more.
In addition to this special programming, classroom teachers are extending instruction with various activities. In the school library, there is a designated area of books featuring African American characters and book pertaining to African American history.
Keep the conversation going at home! Ask your child who they learned about in each day’s announcements. Use multiple resources to do more research – like YouTube, books from the local library, and visits to museums and institutions that highlight black history, including:
Henry Ford Museum
Motown Museum
Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
Detroit Historical Museum
Detroit Institute of Arts
We are so proud of the diversity at Arno, and the new learning happening everyday! Keep it up, Arno Cougars!
