Next week we have our Winter Music program on Thursday, at 9:30. Students in grades K-4 will perform. We hope to see you there. Also, a reminder that we will not have extended day or clubs next week.
Stay warm, happy, and healthy,
Mrs. Pearson, Principal

Decatur Township Culture Guide
E= Events: We cannot control things that happen
R= Response: We can control our response to the event
O=Outcome: Having a proper response will get the desired outcome.
This concept is powerful for all of us. Daily, many things happen that are out of our control. We can lash out or we can pause, think, and then respond. Pausing for reflection allows us to get the outcome that we need and want.
