To celebrate the publication anniversary of “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, St. Mark’s Campus students are encouraged to wear homemade or purchased dot shirts and accessories with uniform bottoms on Friday, September 13. Students will read “The Dot” and participate in various dot-related activities.
“The Dot” tells the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. Each year on International Dot Day, classes celebrate creativity, courage, and collaboration by reading “The Dot” and participating in special activities throughout the day.
