7 Mindsets
The mindset for November is Attitude of Gratitude. The Attitude of Gratitude Mindset teaches us the importance of seeking the positives from every experience and being thankful for all that we have. Through this mindset, we learn that we can use the positives or the negatives of our lives as the foundation on which to build.
Kindness Week November 14-18
5 Facts about Kindness

We are psychologically wired to help someone in need.

There is a 44% less chance of dying early if you are kind.

Gifted and Talented Information
Please plan on attending the GT parent information meeting on November 15 (English) or November 17 (Spanish) at 6:00-7:00 pm in the New Caney High School mini auditorium if you would like to nominate your child for the gifted and talented program.
Backpack Buddy Program
Many children rely on school meals for breakfast and lunch during the week but go home to little or no meals on the weekends. The Houston Food Bank’s Backpack Buddy program works to fill the weekend gap for chronically hungry children by providing nutritious, child-friendly food for children to take home over the weekend during the school year.
