Hello
The few days of colder weather made it feel like a winter holiday. I guess this is what living in Texas is like!!!
We have several fun festivities this week at school including some fun dress-up days. As are navigate through the holiday season, financial responsibilities can become stressful. If you and anyone you know in our community need additional assistance, please reach out.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Maltsberger

Parenting Tip
As kids grow, they face many new things. Starting school. Meeting new friends. Learning to swim. Competing in sports. Learning to drive. Each new thing can feel like a big step forward.
When kids and teens face new things, they often feel a mix of emotions. Facing something new even when it's a good thing can be stressful. It's natural to feel excited about what's ahead and to worry about whether they're ready to handle it.
Worry isn't all bad. It can be helpful as long as it doesn't last too long, become too intense, or happen too often.
Worry is a caution signal. It's a natural response to a big event, change, or challenge. Worry is a way of thinking and feeling ahead: "Am I ready for this? What's going to happen? Is it safe to go ahead? What do I need to do to get ready? How will I do it? What if I feel nervous?"
Thinking through the part they worry about calmly and with support from parents can help kids get ready for what's ahead. When kids feel prepared, they can focus on the part they're looking forward to.
