Principal's Post
I hope you all enjoyed the summer with your children. The 2019-2020 school year is upon us and your children are following the footprints to their classrooms. It has been a pleasure to meet each and every one of your children during these first two weeks of school. This newsletter will serve as a means to keep you abreast of school wide events and updates. I wish you and your children a successful, healthy and happy school year! As always please reach out with any questions you may have.

Discover Something
Treat your child to a rock-solid experience this month. Give them a taste of an Indiana Jones-style adventure. Hand over a pail and shovel on Collect Rocks Day on Sunday, September 16, and let your child get to know the ground beneath their feet—before winter sets in and frost or snow blankets the area. There’s an exciting world down there, with tons of rocks and pebbles, along with worms, beetles, grubs, plant roots, snakes, insects, and spiders.
And here’s the thing: all this digging can make your child smarter. They can wow others with their knowledge of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks as they learns how to identify them. If worms and other moving things are more exciting, they can capture and store them temporarily in glass jars with holes in the lids. Help them return all life-forms to their environment when their done exploring.
