Thank you to everyone that made it to our Parent/Teacher Conferences. We appreciate you coming to help your child in their educational journey. Please keep in contact with your child's teacher and if you have any concerns, let us know. We can't fix things if we don't know there is an issue! Our students always win when we communicate together!!
Our World's Greatest Chocolate Fundraiser started this week. A copy of the form your child will bring home is on the newsletter. The fundraiser is very important to us as it helps us provide fun activities, treats, and incentives for our school. Each child will bring home the form needed to get started. For each box, they will get a collectible to enjoy. Thank you in advance for helping us!
We have started Life Skills this week. Our students had a blast building confidence during Life Skills! They explored the difference between self-esteem and self-image. Through discussion and a creative activity, they learned to be proud of who they are by making a list of positive affirmations and to celebrate the differences that make everyone special!
Our annual Fall Literacy Carnival Night with Will Rogers will be October 29th, from 5:00-7:00. If you would like to start sending candy and 2 liter bottles of pop, we would appreciate it!
