It's getting cold outside!
When temperatures drop below 60° students MUST bring a jacket outside with them. However, students may choose to wear or not wear the jacket until the temperature drops below 40°. At 40°, students will be REQUIRED to wear a jacket.
Why? There are other factors than the temperature that determine the need for a jacket. A cloudy, windy 60° day can feel chilly at times and students may need a jacket. On the other hand, a sunny day with no wind can feel quite warm even when the temperature say it's around 40°, especially when students are running around and burning off energy. This change allows some flexibility when the temperatures are swaying and unpredictable.
TEAMWORK
ENGAGE: Grateful for you!
- I am grateful for you! Create a culture of appreciation and gratitude at home by celebrating the best in each family member all month. What you give attention to grows! On a sticky note or small piece of paper, write one thing you appreciate each day about your child and post it on their bedroom door. Doing this will plant seeds in their heads and hearts to help them see good things about themselves.
EMPOWER: Walk in My Shoes
- Create a culture of appreciation and gratitude at home by celebrating the best in each family member. Have every family member trace one of their shoes, then trade drawings and write three words you admire about that family member on their “shoe.” Discuss how each family member brings something great to your family team.
EXCEL: Pay it Forward
- When someone does something nice for you, do something nice for someone else. Doing this is a wonderful way to continue the cycle of gratitude. “Paying it forward” is a way of showing love and kindness to others. It could be something as simple as holding the door open for someone or buying coffee for a stranger. Once a week, share as a family one time you “paid it forward” during the week.
