Monday Memo
USC Elementary -- You Matter - Every Child - Every Day
Bring On Homecoming Week!!
- The VIP (Volunteers in Plays) Group will be returning for a new school year of plays for our Kindergarten -Grade 2 students!! Their first performance will be in October (waiting for a date) at 9:00 am sharp. Please be ready and in the auditorium. If this is your specialist time, please arrange with the specialist teacher for coverage during your prep time.
- It is HOMECOMING WEEK!! Elementary is encouraged to participate in the dress up days with the high school.
Monday - 80's Day
Tuesday - Twins Day (MN Twins or match someone else)
Wednesday - Crazy Hair Day
Thursday - Dress Like your Favorite TV/Movie Character
Friday - Rebel Spirit Day
3. Please make sure you have signed up for:
Bus Safety Sept. 18-22 (PK-3)
Rebel Right Bathroom Review with Cara and Dan - Sept. 27-28 (K-3 only)
Sign up sheets are in the elementary mail room.
4. We need to have at least 2 representatives for the Mentoring committee. This would not be a person who is actually mentoring someone this school year. You would have a monthly meeting to discuss with mentees and mentors about how it is going and what changes might be needed for the program. Please consider this as we really think this is an important program to support our new teachers and we have many new elementary staff this year who will benefit from this.

Monday Motivation - Passion Never Fails
Passion does not guarantee success. However, passion is the driving force and
a necessary ingredient for obtaining success. Passion fuels confidence, creates
excitement, and is contagious. When you’re passionate, you make those
around you feel excited, and everyone wins. Your passion can help you do
extraordinary things, and it has the power to spread to your students. It will
ignite their curiosity, and give them confidence to learn. Teaching comes with
hurdles and many obstacles. However, your passion will drive you to excel
despite the inevitable hurdles. Share your joy and your passion every day,
because passion never fails.
Something to make you smile......
