Wolverine Weekly
Sibley East Elementary - December 23-January 3, 2022
Happy Holidays
I am so proud of our students! They have worked very hard this first part of the school year...not just with academics, but with showing their Wolverine PRIDE, too! To celebrate, we closed out December with some fun activities in the gym. A special thank you to our PCO and all of the parent/grandparent volunteers that came in to help today. I'll make a slideshow with all of the photos taken so you can see the excitement and energy as well!
Happy Holidays,
Mrs. Feterl

FREE Parent/Guardian Event - An Evening with Children's Author Julia Cook
An Evening with Julia Cook:
This is a hands-on hour of laughs and parenting tricks of the trade. You’ll walk away with information and tricks that you can actually use!
Topics addressed include:
How to effectively address the current needs and worries of the Covid 19 situation with children
Video game addiction
Balancing the parenting act
Personal safety of kids
Teaching kids social skills through books
Also, we cover the following:
As educators and parents, our ultimate goal is to make a positive difference to children and help them reach their highest potential and become the best that they can be in all they do. This goal is getting harder and harder to reach.
- How do we accomplish the great task of teaching our kids the BIG LIST of everything they need to know and succeed in life when they believe that all of their needs are being met through screen time?
- How do we teach our kids online safety? How do we allow technology to add to our children’s life as opposed to taking from it?
- How do we create an environment where kids genuinely "want it" more than we want it for them?
This parenting talk takes a look at the things that world class parents and educators are doing to accomplish the "ultimate goal." By creating a craving for knowledge, setting boundaries, teaching GRIT, encouraging patience, and developing E.Q., our children can be their ultimate best and become prepared for their paths that lie ahead!
“I have my worries and reservations about sending my kids to school this year. However, after hearing Julia speak, I feel I now have the tools to talk more effectively to my child about the world and our current situation.”
– Kim Dieckman – 8th grade teacher and lloving mom of 3 kids ages 9, 13, and 15.
“I found Julia Cook's visit to be extremely inspiring. What she does for students, teachers and parents it truly amazing. Her passion to make the world better and help children be the best they can be is remarkable. Her books give teachers and parents tools to use and students a fun and entertaining play book for behavior skills. The energy she brought to our school kept everyone buzzing and smiling for days. Thank you for a life-changing, memorable experience.”
-Anne Haskins - Parent
“One of the best and most informative hours I have ever spent at a school.”
-Richard Harrison - Parent
