News and Notes for December 2017
A Note From Principal Reid
The Holiday Season is a great time to help your child learn how to show gratitude.
Help your children remember what they have to be grateful for – a loving family, food on the table, caring teachers, music and art, sports and games – whatever brings them joy. Help them notice these things and find ways to express their gratitude – in a drawing, a song, a poem, a hug, or just by looking into the eyes of someone to whom they are grateful and saying “thank you.” The simple act of saying "thank you" can be very rewarding to the person receiving the gratitude as well as to the person giving it. As silly as it seems, children must practice saying "thank you" in order for it to become a habit. During this holiday season, as you enjoy time with your children, remind them to be thankful for what they have and remind them to say "thank you". Two little words that mean a lot! Thank you, parents and students, for a great first semester from the South Grove Staff!
