Together We Can!
We make the difference! Everyday we have an opportunity to change the lives of our students. Mandates, programs and even assessments will change. Students coming into our school and classrooms everyday will not. We are the constant in our students lives. We should not take for granted the gift we have been given to educate our children. Make no mistake, there will be days that we will be challenged and question every decision that we have made. However, in every challenge comes and opportunity to grow and improve from the Inside Out, because Together We Can do anything!

Positive School Climate
Our next PSC Wolf day will be on Friday, September 11th. Students who met their goal of at least 8 of 10 Wolf bucks for the 2 week cycle may wear red, white, and blue for $1.00 and will participate in an Ice Cream Sundae party during lunch times. Students participating will present a participation card at lunch to get their ice cream sundae. The cards will be given to homeroom teachers by Wednesday as well as invitations for out of uniform to be sent home Thursday afternoon to students who reached their goal.
Teachers please feel free to wear your red, white and blue colors with our students. This PSC Wolf day is also set aside for us to teach patriotism and remember the events that took place on September 11, 2001. There are many resources online to assist with your instruction.

What Great Teachers Do Differently
"Learning can happen in isolation; teaching happens between people. Effective teaching calls for "people skills," and the best teachers practice those skills everyday."
