Reflections from Katie
I am excited to report that in our third month of sending out surveys in advance of school council meetings, our response rate has continued to rise. Thank you to all of you for answering these short surveys as a way to contribute your voices to the improvement of our school community. One parent recently shared with me that she found the surveys were actually making her feel more connected to the school community.
Our school council meeting in February focused on reading at home. Hear more from Katie >>

Meet Cambridgeport 1st/2nd Grade Teacher Maish Sport!
How long have you been at Cambridgeport?
This is my 6th year at Cambridgeport! I spent my first four years working with Kristen in Kindergarten, and then last year I transitioned to the 1st/2nd grade team.
What is your favorite TV show?
My favorite TV show...is probably Friends. I don't really keep up with anything current too much, but I find that I very frequently end up rewatching Friends. It's an old favorite on which I got hooked in college.
What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I read it as a junior in high school, and fell in love with it. I think I just like the writing style. I've read that book over, and over again through the years.
What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done?
That's a difficult question. I typically play it pretty safe. I remember the first time I went skiing. We were in Vermont for a week and I took just 2 lessons and on the third day, decided to join my friends (who were much better skiers) and ski down a much steeper slope than I'd ever tried. It was pretty intense at first, but I made it, and I didn't fall!
If you could be an animal what kind would you be?
I'd have to say a dog. I love dogs. They are very friendly, protective, caring, sensitive, and fun. I'd like to think I can be all of those things too!
