A Look Ahead
Yearbook Photos 9/28
Be sure to send your student to school in formal dress uniform for yearbook photos next Friday, September 28th.
Students will be taking an individual photo, as well as a class photo. Ordering information will be sent home today.
Citizen of the Month Awards & Multi-Age Performance 9/28
On Friday, September 28th, we will hold this year's first Citizen of the Month Awards at 8am on the yard.
Throughout the month of September, students have been learning what it means to display respect. Respect is the ability to treat someone or something with value. Each student votes for someone in their class who has displayed these qualities and believes they should be recognized.
Be sure to ask your child about how they can show respect. Each month, AMA will focus on a different trait based off the seven habits of effective leaders.
October's trait will focus on responsibility; the opportunity to act independently and make decisions with accountability.
All Citizen of the Month Awards are formal dress days.
Multi-Age Performance
All School Box Top Competition
Each box top is worth 10 cents and will go directly back to special events for our students. We will provide updated counts here in the newsletter each Friday. At the end of the year, we will share the total amount raised!
The Box Top collection boxes are located on the round table in the library, along with additional Box Top collection sheets. We ask you to collect 10 box tops before submitting.
