A+ Celebration Parade!
We need help with our crosswalks. It is a really important volunteer opportunity and we are so thankful to all of the parents that have already stepped up and assisted us this past week in the crosswalk and in the cafeteria!

Hello Families,
The motto for this week is:
I can see things from many different points of view.
When students understand that their perspective can change the way they experience life, they have been given a powerful gift. It took my son way too long, but he finally decided that homework doesn't have to be a punishment. What a difference this shift in perspective made for him.
There is always another way to look at every situation. For example, how students "see" homework will vary:
• Homework is horrible.
• Homework is a "have to."
• Homework is helpful.
We are always choosing a perspective; we just are not always conscious of the choices we make. Students may "do" their homework but rarely (if ever) take the time to determine how they "see" their homework and the bigger implications that it may have in their life. After all, if they get into the habit of "seeing" homework as punishment, they are setting themselves up for future punishment.
The good news is if we don't like what we see - we can change it! We may not be able to change the conditions (we have homework), but we can change how we see and experience those conditions.
When you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.
For one year, my three children were in elementary, middle, and high school in three different schools. Pick-up and drop-off times were all different, and I complained to a friend about how I wasted hours and hours each day in carpool. She said simply, "Soon, your kids will be driving, but right now, you have this time together in carpool, cherish it."
I followed her advice, and everything changed. What I once viewed as a chore was now a time to catch up on one another's day, connect, listen to our favorite songs and just be together.
Perspective is a powerful force that we control. The trick is not to forget that we are in control.
Best to you and your family,
Danna Evans
