Dear Robert Hunter families,
Even though it was short, we had a great week! We had a wonderful whole school assembly this past Monday led by some of our third graders. This assembly focused on the book Change Sings by Amanda Gorman. We read this book aloud to the whole school and then during the assembly, students discussed how they can have a positive impact on their community by helping others and demonstrating caring and empathy. Students will be meeting with buddy classes to further discuss these ideas and how they can be a leader in making the world a better place.
We hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor

Now that colder weather is upon us, please be sure that your child is dressed for the weather - it’s time for those winter jackets! Please be prepared for students to go outside for recess each and every day. Our cafeteria aides, along with our school nurse, will determine how long students will stay outside for recess, depending on weather conditions.
