A Note From Mrs. McCoy Guidance Counselor:
Good afternoon parents,
We have had another busy week in guidance. This week we worked on Cooperation. We defined cooperation as working together to achieve a goal. We identified our steps to cooperating well as 1) listening to each others' ideas without putting others down, 2) agreeing on which ideas to use without getting upset if our ideas are not chosen, 3) making a plan and sticking with the plan, 4) completing the plan while helping others in our group if needed, and 5) not blaming each other if the outcome is not what we expected and trying again. Our next two lessons will focus on career exploration and we will work in centers.

This year we are going to expand our team and invite our students and families to join in the fundraising efforts and the walk. Below is the link...you can search for India Hook Elementary Pirates and click to join. You do NOT have to make a donation today. There is an option to donate later, but this will set you up with an account that you can share with friends and family. If you participated last year, you should still have an account in your name. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are starting earlier this year so we can raise as much money as possible. Last year we raised almost $2,000!!!!!!

If you need something more than this for your records, please email your child's teacher and they will forward to the PTA for follow up.
A HUGE thank you to all the Volunteers who helped make this day a success. Without your help and support things like lunch and learns, collection days, prize days, passing out the t-shirts and the day of the run would not be able to happen.
Finally, Due to the rain on Friday, April 1, we were not able to run our laps outside and tally the laps on the students' t-shirts.
The students will run on Friday, April 22 during their specials time and we will mark their shirts for their laps.
Thank you again pirates, for a wonderful Pirate Fun Run 2016!
