VANWAGNEN NEWS
Every act of kindness matters, and over the month of December, we will utilize the Kindness Calendar identified below to spread kindness at CUES.
In addition, Mrs. Schatzle, has gathered organizations in our community to support families in need during the holidays. These families will receive food and gifts for their Christmas. We appreciate Mrs. Schatzle and all of the community organizations for their hard work sharing resources with our community.
This will be our final newsletter for 2021. We are so grateful for this community and the outstanding students we have at CUES. The relationships we share with them are the foundation for our positive school culture. Thank you to all of our CUES families for your continued support, especially during these challenging times.
I wish you all the best over the holidays and throughout the New Year.

STUDENT SAFETY UPDATE
Given recent events and tragedies affecting Michigan schools, we wanted to provide the infographic & information below from the National Association of School Psychologists to assist our families. Parents and school personnel can help children feel safe by establishing a sense of normalcy and security and talking with them about their fears. In the coming days, staff will review safety procedures with students and are readily available to support students and address any of their concerns.
In addition, we wanted to share a reminder about Michigan's OK2SAY Anonymous Tip Line. Students are encouraged to report, immediately, to an adult when they learn of something that could be a danger to them or others. Find out more by visiting the link provided below.

STUDENT COUNCIL'S ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE
The CUES Student Council is holding their annual Food Drive to help our local families this holiday season. We started collecting items on Monday, November 8th. Items will be collected through December 15th. All items must be non-perishable food items. Suggested items include: canned food, baby food, boxed food mixes (mac and cheese, jello, cake mix, etc.), diapers, toilet paper, and toothpaste. All items must be new and unopened.
SUBWAY CARDS FOR SALE
These Subway cards make great stocking stuffers or are good for everyday use. Since most Subway 6" subs cost at least $5.00 you save money by using these fundraising cards.
You can purchase Subway cards from any CUES Third Grade student who is using them as a fundraiser to pay for his/her trip OR you can contact Mr. Howland at Ray.Howland@myeagles.org. Thank you!
TOYS FOR MOTT'S
Ms. Cook, 4th Grade Teacher @ CUES, has launched the ninth annual toy drive again this year! This toy drive is for Mott Children's Hospital and the toys go to patients that are spending the holiday season in Mott Children's Hospital. Collection boxes will be located in each school office as well as the Fitness Center.
Toy Collection Deadline: 12/17/21
