Happy November!!

Dear Parents and Families,


Yesterday we concluded our Red Ribbon week-long celebration to promote our mission of keeping students drug-free. I would like to thank all of our teachers, staff, and parents who led or supported all of our events, including the book fair. Because of all of your hard work and dedication to our students, all of this past week's events were successful.


November is the month we officially kick off the holiday season. We begin the month by ending daylight saving time on Sunday, November 6, when we turn back the clock one hour. We have the Veterans' Day Holiday on Friday, November 11th. We will have our first in-person parent conferences during the week of November 14-18, which are also minimum days all that week long. We then have our Thanksgiving break from November 21-25, when students do not come to school until the return date of November 28th. This month we are also conducting a food drive. You can view this and many of the activities happening in November down below. As always, I want to thank you for your overwhelming support of our wonderful little school. I wish you all a wonderful month of November and hope you get to spend quality time with your family and loved ones.


In Partnership,

Dr. Cortez, Principal

The Story of the First Thanksgiving
Check out this truly fascinating article chronicling the history of the Thanksgiving story, and how schools are now approaching this history differently.
Teaching Thanksgiving in a Socially Responsible Way

Teaching Thanksgiving in a Socially Responsible Way

School Thanksgiving activities often mean dressing children in "Indian" headdresses and paper feathers as they sing " My Country 'Tis of Thee" or " Mr. Turkey." Some teachers might even ask their students to draw themselves as Native Americans from the past, complete with feather-adorned headbands and buckskin clothing.

Gratitude Activities for the Classroom

Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to help students cultivate an "attitude of gratitude." And what's more, research shows that it's really good for both them and their teachers! Among other benefits, gratitude helps kids feel better about school and makes educators feel less emotionally exhausted.
