No School Tuesday, Nov 6th: Election Day
Urgent Message Regarding Owl Drop Off
1. NO CELL PHONE USE-we had a staff member nearly hit last week by a driver who appeared to be texting while driving through the parking lot.
2. If waiting at the curb at 7:55 am, students MUST exist the car at that time. It important to begin the unloading process at 7:55 am to ensure all students using the drop off, enter the building by 8:05 am. We have added at an outside bell at 7:55 am. Students are welcomed into the building at 8:00 am.
3. Turning left out of the parking is VERY difficult in the morning. We urge drivers to consider turning right. PLEASE DO NOT block the drop off lane waiting to merge into the left lane.
PTA Meeting: Wednesday, November 7th @ 7:00 pm

- (Be) Yourself
Children greatly benefit from being nurtured and learning to nurture themselves. We can model how we nurture ourselves by being physically active, getting enough sleep and having quite time or down time. By being nurtured and nurturing oneself, we find nurturing others purposeful and benefit from the positive effect it has on us.
Everyday, simple kindnesses are at the core of well-nurtured relationships. Here are some simple everyday acts of kindness that nurture our soul and relationships with other:
1. Look someone in the eye as you say "hello"
2. Hold the door for someone entering the room behind you
3. Ask a friend how she is and LISTEN carefully to her answer
4. Smile and say hello to someone you see regularly
5. Offer a compliment to someone
