UNICORN WEEKLY
Week of October 19, 2026
From the Principal
EVERY CHILD IS A MASTERPIECE IN PROGRESS
Dear Unicorn Families,
What an amazing week at our school! We had a wonderful turnout for the Book Fair, and I want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make it such a success. Our 5th grade students also had an incredible time during Science Camp, filled with hands-on learning, exploration, and fun. We are especially grateful to the parent volunteers who supported these activities and helped create meaningful experiences for our students.
Looking ahead, we are excited to celebrate Red Ribbon Week with our upcoming theme week activities. We will wrap up the week with one of our favorite traditions, the Annual Word Parade on Friday. We can't wait to see our students dressed up and their coordinating word that describes their costume and celebrate the joy of reading and learning together!
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and success together! 💙💛
Have a wonderful weekend! 📚🎉💙
Warm regards,
Ms. Kari Savage-Egg

Being a Good Citizen
If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Being a Good Citizen we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well Clifford's good deed by Bidwell, Good People Everywhere by Gillen, Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed by Pearson, and The Kindness Quilt by Wallace. Some Sample Qs: Everyone in a community is a citizen, what does a good citizen look like? What are some good things your classmates do that show they care about one another? How were the people in the books acting like good citizens?
The Goal: Students need to look beyond their own needs for the good of others in the community. For this reason, resist the urge to overly complement and reward good deeds. When we do a good thing we have a happy heart and that should be enough
Summary/Key Phrase: I take care of others ... I take care of the communit
