HES Shark Scoop
January 20, 2023
From Principal Cutone
Dear HES Families,
What a joyful start to our week it was when we gathered for our All Shark Meeting on Monday morning. This month’s fourth grade ambassadors led a magnificent meeting about Managing Our Emotions. The kindergarten through 3rd grade students were captivated as they listened to their role models share strategies for dealing with anger, sadness, or other big emotions. Ms. Cleary’s 4th graders led us in our school song, and Ms. Foster-Smith’s class taught us how to use Five Finger Breathing as a calming strategy. All of our buckets were filled by the Sharks who led the meeting!
The week ended with another fun event designed to celebrate our collective efforts to always be “respectful, responsible, safe, and ready to learn”. This afternoon, we lined the hallways and danced our way into the weekend.
I wish everyone who will celebrate the Lunar New Year this weekend a joyful and peaceful entrance into the year of the Rabbit. As always, if there is anything that I can do to support you or your family, please let me know.
My best,
Christie

Prezadas famílias HES, Que começo alegre para a nossa semana foi quando nos reunimos para o nosso All Shark Meeting na manhã de segunda-feira. Os embaixadores da quarta série deste mês conduziram uma reunião magnífica sobre como gerenciar nossas emoções. Os alunos do jardim de infância até a 3ª série ficaram cativados ao ouvir seus modelos compartilharem estratégias para lidar com raiva, tristeza ou outras grandes emoções. Os alunos da 4ª série da Sra. Cleary nos conduziram em nossa música escolar, e a classe da Sra. Foster-Smith nos ensinou como usar a Respiração dos Cinco Dedos como uma estratégia calmante. Todos os nossos baldes foram enchidos pelos Sharks que lideraram a reunião! A semana terminou com mais um evento divertido criado para celebrar nossos esforços coletivos para sermos sempre “respeitosos, responsáveis, seguros e prontos para aprender”. Esta tarde, nós nos alinhamos nos corredores e dançamos até o fim de semana. Desejo a todos que celebrarão o Ano Novo Lunar neste fim de semana uma entrada alegre e pacífica no ano do Coelho. Como sempre, se houver algo que eu possa fazer para apoiar você ou sua família, por favor me avise. Meu melhor, Christie
