By state law, youth organizations chartered by Congress may request time in the school day to address students. One of these organizations is the Boy Scouts of America, and they have asked for time to tell students about scouting.

We will be accommodating their request during lunch on Wednesday, September 23rd. The Boy Scouts will be giving a 3-5 minute presentation. We wanted to make sure all parents and guardians are aware of the visit. If you have questions, please email me at trcooper@mpsomaha.org

During the month of October, our classroom counseling lessons in grades K-5 will focus on skills of resiliency, coping skills and how to get help for oneself and/or a friend. These lessons are intended to educate students on feelings of stress, worry, sadness, how to cope with such feelings, and how to ask for help if needed. Students will identify coping strategies and trusted adults at school and outside of school to whom they can go for help. Please talk with your child about these feelings, and reinforce appropriate coping strategies such as talking with a trusted adult, exercising, or doing an activity they enjoy. Please contact Alyssa Olson at ajolson@gmail.com with any questions!

Thank you to all the dads who were able to attend our Dads and Donuts kick off today. If you would like to sign up to be a Watch D.O.G. this year, click on the link below to sign up.

We look forward to having Watch D.O.G.S. in our building.
