We encourage all students to celebrate by dressing up in dots from head to toe. Get creative! Students who do not want to participate may wear their uniform bottoms and Greathouse Spiritwear shirt.International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot.
The Dot is 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.” What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
And each year, on International Dot Day –the inspiration continues at Greathouse Shryock Traditional Elementary. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do.
