PLANT SEEDS OK KINDNESS
Shoemaker Plants Seeds of Kindness
This year our school theme is"PLANT SEEDS OF KINDNESS! PLANT SEEDS OF LEARNING!"
Throughout the year we will give students many opportunities to practice kindness as well as encourage students to perform random acts of kindness both here and at home. This newsletter will give you updates of our wonderful Shoemaker Family's efforts!

Lettuce...
To Kick off our SHOEMAKER SCIENCE STEM LAB and Garden of Kindness we sent home "MINI SALADS" with lettuce sprouts and a tomato. The note reminded us...
Lettuce be KIND!
Lettuce RESPECT each other.
Lettuce be GRATEFUL.
Lettuce PLANT SEEDS OF KINDNESS!

KINDNESS GARDEN
On October 16th, the Shoemaker students and staff planted and dedicated the new SHOEMAKER GARDEN OF KINDNESS. Students helped plant and water a pear tree, grasses and mums. A sign was dedicated in honor of all children who carry around a struggle. Students from each grade level recited Kindness poems. The First Graders sang a kindness song. The entire school recited a Kindness Pledge. Two BUDDY BENCHES were presented and placed in the garden. The Garden and Buddy Benches are intended for students who are sad or upset and need a buddy or friend. Students can sit on the chair when they need a friend and in turn students will show kindness and invite them to play. Students will paint the benches with thumbprint flowers in the near future and sell seed necklaces to help pay for the garden and take ownership.

Community Service Projects
Each month Shoemaker helps those less fortunate then ourselves. In September we collected toiletries and paper products for the Homeless Shelter. This Month Shoemaker is collecting canned foods for the Food Bank.
Random Acts of Kindness
Shoemaker School lends a helping hand. Shoemaker reached out and helped two sick children who are battling cancer. We made cards and collected craft items for Phoebe, a kindergartner from the Lehigh Valley who was just diagnosed with Leukemia. Students also made cards and collected craft items for Jillian, a 4th grader from Willow School who just underwent surgery for brain cancer. We wish them both lots of love and a speedy recovery.
THANK YOU for your kindness and Generosity.
