What's New at Amity Elementary?
Update From The Amity Summer Academy
Dear Amity Families,
Students continue their great work at our Amity Academy!
Mr. Huster was working with our 1st graders this week on learning all about the earth. Students read about the atmosphere that surrounds us along with important features of our planet.
Miss Estep was playing placeholder Yahtzee with her 4th grade students as part of their warm up activity for the day. Later in the session, her group started researching and designing their dream vacation, while using a simulated budget to make decisions.
We appreciate the efforts of our students to continue to grow daily over the summer!
Take Care,
Josh

Save the Date: Launch 2021 | Friday, July 30
Two years ago, and for two-years running, Deer Park Schools and our community organization OneDeerPark hosted a summer festival called Launch, that provided our students with back-to-school supplies, haircuts, food, games and prizes all at no charge to the families. Everything was completely FREE! While COVID obviously put a halt on our momentum last year, we are back up and running this year and looking to make it our best event yet!
Thanks to local sponsors and OneDeerPark, this festival-like event will feature carnival games, prizes, popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, a dunk tank and so, so much more!
Come out, grab a burger or hot dog, play a game or two, and get a fresh cut to get ready for the start of the 2021-22 school year! It's sure to be a great event for the entire Deer Park community!

Updated Dates: Safe, Seen, and Heard Presentation
Anyone else feel like they are in survival mode these days? Do you ever have full, happy days where you forget the chaos of the outside (or inside) world?
Either way, we are all in the thick of it, and one thing that makes it tougher is trying to do it all alone. So, let’s not try to do it alone. In this two-session series we will be inviting families to come together in a supportive learning environment in order to engage with one another with practices that help us not just survive in trying times, but thrive.
We all have the capacity to cultivate safer relationships with ourselves and others. The key is practice. And practicing within the context of community makes it that much sweeter.
