Principal's Message
I believe we have had a great start to this new school year. We appreciate the PTA for organizing the family picnic. Events like this are great for our school culture. It is nice to have the Afterschool program going and I encourage any parents that would like a little extra help to have your students stay and participate.
Our School Community Council has been organized. Members are Silver Brown, David Gilliland, Katie Lott, Jamie Green, Rachel Luke, and Lavdie Huff representing parents. Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Hyden, Mrs. Snyder and myself represent the school. The council meets throughout the year. We will post contact information, schedule, agendas, and minutes on the school web site. I hope we here at school are reflecting the kind of opportunities for the students that you as parents would like. The community council is a great forum for input from parents. Our students have additional technology and software licenses as well as many hours of teacher’s assistants as a result of the Community Council and Trust land funds.
I am excited to have this new format for our newsletter. The 2-question survey is a great way for us to get a simple opinion about how parents feel. We want to work at continual growth and getting information about areas to improve will be very helpful. We also hope to see the good things that are happening validated by your response to those questions when they come. We are committed to using the school web page to keep families informed. Please check the school page, calendars and classroom pages to keep informed of current information.
With the change in weather we see an increase in lost and found jackets and coats. Students put them on for recess then get warm outside and take them off and leave them. Please put names inside the jackets and on lunch boxes and we can return them. We send boxes of lost coats and jackets to D.I. each summer.
The first week of October was our school Kindness Week. Students in the Kindness Club planned fun activities. Jeffrey R. Holland said, “What we say or don’t say, how we say it and when, is so very, very important in shaping a child’s view of himself or herself.” This is true of what students say to each other as well. We want to constantly encourage thoughtfulness in the way students interact with each other and hope the same is reinforced in the homes.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the “Halloween Parade” on the 30th. More information will come home as we get closer. We hope to parade outside but that is weather permitting. It is one of the best-attended events of the year and it is always nice to see so much support from parents and family. The students really do feel special. As always, thanks for your interest and support. It is a pleasure to work with such fine students and families!

Support Our Art Program
Our amazing art teacher, Mrs. Gray, wrote a proposal for Donor's Choose to get art supplies for our students. The last two years they have been funded partly by parents and mostly by strangers and large companies, but it is helpful if we get the ball rolling. Donations of any size are helpful, as are shares. Help support the creative projects Mrs. Gray has in store for our school. Details can be found at:
