I am thankful to be surrounded by such wonderful students, staff, parents, Board of Education members, and a supportive school community.

In May, our students will learn about compassion as our monthly character trait.

Compassion is caring for others, treating people with kindness, and helping those

in need.

Mrs. Falletta delivered an inspiring speech that was well received by those attending. Mrs. Carol Labin, was also recognized for over 10 years of service to our Board of Education.

• Make A Plan: Families may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to create plans that outline how they will contact each other during an emergency.
• Build a Kit: Assemble emergency kits containing essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Ensure these kits are easily accessible and periodically updated.
• Ready Kids: Engage students in age-appropriate preparedness activities. Utilize FEMA’s “Ready Kids” resources to teach children about emergency planning.
• Pet Preparedness: Pets are important members of families too, so they need to be included when making a plan.
