Where the Adventure Begins...
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Happy Faux Friday! I saw the above picture and just love it so much. It perfectly captures how each of us are different and how our differences in how we develop is beautiful and perfect for each of us. This is so applicable for every single one of our students too. I hope it makes you smile like it did for me!
Although it has been a quick week, it has been incredibly busy!! We have been gearing up for our Open House and our 10 year Birthday Bash this coming Tuesday night, April 23rd. We will host Open House from 5:30-6:00 where you are able to visit your child's classroom and see a variety of their school work from this year and many great things they are learning! Then, at 6:00 we will all head to our Birthday Bash which will end promptly at 7:00! If the weather is nice, it will be outside on the West side of our building. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be raining, so we will most likely be set up in our West Motor Lab. We'll have cupcakes, water, and a DJ! We will also have some stations for your children to enjoy like face painting, a sponge toss, tattoos, and more. We hope you are able to join us to celebrate!
Don't forget we do NOT have school tomorrow or Monday! I hope you all enjoy the long weekend and are able to enjoy some important family time!!

The Counselor Corner
Your child's safety is important in and out of school. We just wrapped up this year’s lesson on personal safety with the Play It Safe Program. I'm also sharing this resource from Committee for Children, the organization that makes a social-emotional learning program.
Research shows that talking to your kids about sexual abuse, touching, and private body parts can help keep them safe. This is a scary subject, but talking about it shouldn't be. HotChocolateTalk.org is a free, research-based resource that provides the facts, tips, and talking points that can help you start this critical safety conversation.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Learn how you can help prevent abuse at HotChocolateTalk.org.
