UNICORN WEEKLY
Week of October 19, 2026
Dear Unicorn Families,
What a wonderful start to our second nine weeks! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Block Party. It was so much fun seeing our families, students, and staff come together for an evening filled with laughter, connection, and community. We truly appreciate everyone who came out and helped make the event such a success.
We are also excited to kick off our Book Fair next week! This is a great opportunity to encourage a love of reading and help students discover new books they will enjoy. Families are invited to shop during our Family Shopping After Hours on Tuesday until 4:30 p.m. We hope to see many of you there!
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and success together! 💙💛
Have a wonderful weekend! 📚🎉💙
Warm regards,
Ms. Kari Savage-Egg

Hi Families!
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. During my classroom lessons this month, I will teach students about bullying and ways to help but a stop to bullying. Students will learn how to Recognize, Report, and Refuse bullying. Older students will also learn about Cyber Bullying. I encourage you to take a few moments to talk with your students about what they have learned about bullying prevention
_________________________________________________________________________________________________ Using Kind Words
If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Using Kind Words we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well Stand Tall, Molly Lou Mellon by Lovell, The Recess Queen by O'Neill, Being Frank by Earnhardt, and Words and Your Heart by Neal. Some Sample Qs: Which of the characters in the story want to be our friend? Which of them weren't the nicest friends? why? What are some of the things they said or did that wasn't very nice?
The Goal: Words can make our heart feel happy or sad. We have to be careful not to use word's that hurt other people's feelings. A coffee filter keeps the grounds out and lets just the liquid in that adults like to drink. Our brain acts as our filter.
