November 20th, 2022
We had a busy week at Robinson! Our kids have been hard at work and we were able to celebrate many of our achievements! Check out our morning assembly slides to view the great work that our kids are doing! Our fifth grade students did a writing celebration on Friday and had pie to go with it. Thank you to all the families who brought in pie to help the kids celebrate their writing efforts!
Thank you to our PTO Staff Appreciation Committee for helping us to celebrate our teaching assistants and paraprofessionals as well as our substitutes.
There are many things that I am grateful for in my life. I am grateful for my husband, family, and friends. I am grateful to have a job that I am very passionate about and enjoy each and every day. I am grateful for our school community, our staff, students and families. You all bring me great joy and fulfillment. I love working at Robinson, and I love our students and staff. You all are my extended family and I am grateful for the gifts you bring to my life. I hope that you all are able to enjoy this long weekend with your family and friends. I encourage you to reflect on all of the wonderful things that are in your life and share your gratitude with those who mean so much to you. Be safe if you are traveling and I look forward to hearing all the great stories the kids will share with me next Monday.
Please reach out at any time to share any questions, concerns, or ideas. I am here to help and support you and your family. Thanks for all you do to help keep our students and staff safe.
