Dear Stony Brook Families,

If you're a New England sports fan, chances are you won't be reading this until tomorrow! The Bruins, Patriots, and Celtics all playing on the same day—what an exciting Sunday for Boston sports fans!

Speaking of excitement, we had another great week at Stony Brook! Thank you to all the families who attended Brewster STEM Night at Eddy Elementary this past week. It was wonderful to see our school community come together for an evening of exploration, creativity, and learning! I'm already looking forward to February, when Stony Brook will host Brewster Literacy Night!

A reminder that there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all veterans for their service and sacrifice.

As we continue helping our students become Flexible Thinkers, you'll find some fun and simple ideas below for practicing flexible thinking at home. Learning to adapt when things don't go as planned, consider different solutions, and manage unexpected changes are important skills that help our children grow both in and out of the classroom!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead! And to our New England sports fans—Go Pats, Bruins, and Celtics!

Kindly,

Mrs. Kasper

I create a Morning Message video each morning to avoid interrupting classrooms using the PA system. I like to include fun birthday greetings to students in these videos. Basically, you email me (Kasperc@nausetschools.org) a front facing picture of your pet a few days before your child's birthday and I will include a similar greeting in the Morning Message. Here is a sample video.

Don't worry if you don't have a pet (or forget), I have plenty of animal photos to use!
