Message From the Principal
I hope you enjoyed yesterday with some time with your family, and maybe someone ho is serving in our armed forces, or someone who used to serve in our armed forces. We organized and created a virtual assembly that focused on veterans day and shared it with all of the teachers for the to share with their classes. See the link below to watch it. In a normal year, we have an all-school assembly and we invite our local veterans to participate, and be recognized and honored for their service to our country. It's my favorite assembly every year. I called my son last night to tell him how proud I am of what he is doing, and his commitment to serve others in the Coast Guard. Next week, November 18, is Mickey Mouse's birthday and we are having a spirit day - wear anything Mickey Mouse on it.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Pat Webster--Head Learner

Character Trait of the Month: Perseverance
This month we will be learning about the character trait Perseverance. Each and every day, students face obstacles, and we are working on pushing through, even when things are tough. Positive self talk is an excellent strategy to encourage ourselves to keep trying and reminding ourselves we might not know something 'yet'. Examples Include:
- I can do this!
- I believe in myself!
- I've almost got it!
- I can accomplish challenging things!
The more we practice and model this, the easier it is to remind ourselves an students that we can work through challenges.

If you call the office ahead of time, we can notify the playground supervisor that you are on the way, and it's safe to let you cut through the playground from the neighborhood behind the school.
