Sundays From The Mesa #14

Dear Alta Mesa Families,

Don't forget we have a four-day weekend! There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 10th or Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.

All online Cookie Dough orders are due on Monday, November 10th. If students have paper orders, please make sure they make it to the office no later than Wednesday due to no school on Monday and Tuesday. Our Booster Club will need to submit everything by Wednesday morning.

We have two home soccer games this week. Our Alta Mesa Eagles play at Alta Mesa on Wednesday and Thursday this week at 3:00 pm. Please know that the game schedule originally stated we play on Tuesday but we don't have school on Tuesday so the game was moved to Wednesday! Come cheer on our Eagles!

The Booster Club meeting is Wednesday from 6:00-7:00 in the Alta Mesa Library.

Friday is FALL INTO THANKSGIVING spirit day! Don't forget to wear your fall colors!

Thank You,

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Hey students! Ready to level up your habits and have some fun at home? Introducing Habit Bingo — a fun way to practice Habit #3: Put First Things First!

This habit is all about managing your time and activities to prioritize and achieve your most important goals, rather than reacting to low priority tasks. It's how leaders organize and execute tasks that matter most. It’s how leaders make meaningful decisions and a difference.

How it works:

You’ll get a Bingo chart filled with simple tasks that show how you can Put First Things First at home. As you complete a task, mark off the square. Try to get 5 in a row — across, down, or diagonal — to win Let’s build great habits, one square at a time!

Are you ready to Put First Things First and BINGO your way to success? Let’s go, leaders!

Turn in your completed Bingo Card to your teacher to win a Golden Eagle and for a chance to win a gift card! You have until December 18th to Complete it and Turn it In!

There’s no school on Monday, November 10th, and Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.

What a fun surprise break to look forward to in November!

The Booster Club will be meeting on Wednesday, November 12th in the Library from 6:00-7:00. Swing by and see who you can get involved!

Parent-Teacher conference week is fast approaching. This year parent-teacher conference week will be November 17th through November 21st.
