CES Weekly Update

It's time for I love literacy week at CES!

Next week, the entire week will be filled with lots of opportunities for our school community to celebrate reading! We will come together for a pep rally, listen to mystery readers, hear from guest authors, and march in a book character parade next Friday. Below you will find a link to the schedule. You are welcome to attend our assemblies along with our book character parade which will take place rain or shine. If it rains we will march in the gym and if it is not raining, we will march down Main St. Please help your child determine what book character they would like to be!

Feeling the Winter Blues? You’re Not Alone.

Winter can feel heavy - shorter days, colder weather, less time outside, and changes in routine can affect mood and energy. It’s normal to notice shifts in how you’re feeling during this time of year.

Some signs to watch for include:

• Feeling more tired than usual
• Losing interest in things you usually enjoy
• Feeling down, irritable, or disconnected
• Sleeping more (or less) than usual
• Wanting to isolate or withdraw from others

If these feelings last more than a couple of weeks, or start to interfere with school, friendships, or daily life, it’s important to reach out. Talking with a trusted adult, school counselor, coach, or friend can make a real difference.

Small things can help too - staying connected, getting outside when possible, keeping a routine, and doing something kind for yourself or someone else. You don’t have to handle it alone.
