Saint of the Month
Living Like the Saints
Our virtue of the month is Gentleness, which is compassion in one's actions and words. To grow in this virtue, we can practice thoughtful behavior by pausing before speaking or acting, showing patience, and using calm and kind words instead of harsh ones.
Don't forget to submit your challenge completion forms for the month of November! Paper forms can be found and submitted on the Narthex table or you can respond digitally here! We would love to hear how you lived out the virtue of Gentleness this month and enter you in the raffle drawing for Hyber Bar gift cards!

No Touch November PBIS Challenge
-
This month, our school is kicking off No Touch November: “Hands Off, Kindness On!” — a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) challenge focused on respecting personal space, using kind words, and keeping hands, feet, and objects to ourselves.
Throughout November, teachers and staff will be looking for students who demonstrate safe and respectful behavior. Classes will work together to earn stars for positive choices and teamwork. Once a class earns 10 stars, they’ll celebrate with a fun group reward!
Our goal is to help students develop self-control, foster strong friendships, and create a safe and caring environment for everyone. Families can support this challenge by encouraging respectful behavior at home and reminding students that kindness doesn’t require touch — it can be shown through words, smiles, and helping others.
Let’s make November a month full of kindness and safe choices!
Focus Behaviors:
§ Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself
§ Use kind words instead of physical actions
§ Respect others’ personal space
§ Solve problems with words
Class Challenge: “Reach for the Stars!”
Each class earns a star when the whole group demonstrates hands-to-self behavior, kindness, or teamwork throughout the day.
§ Stars can be displayed on a classroom chart or a hallway bulletin board.
§ When a class earns 20 stars, they receive a class reward — such as extra recess, a dance party, or a popcorn celebration!

We have a parent that graciously volunteered to do morning crossing guard. We are still in need of afternoon volunteers. Thanks!
