SCHOHARIE - On Monday, Schoharie Elementary School second graders celebrated International Dot Day. The day is based on the book, "The Dot," by Peter Reynolds. The author's message is to "make your mark" on the world. They spent the day teaching our students to be creative, collaborative, and courageous.

The day promotes courage by showing people that they can start with small steps and build upon them to achieve great things.

It fosters collaboration by connecting millions of people worldwide—including teachers, librarians, and students—who participate in creative activities together.
