Fun Run Friday
Our Glow Runs will take place during your special areas. Please be on time to the gym and be ready to have a great time supporting your kids as they run. The run is very structured. Girls will run while boys cheer for them and then they will switch.
Please share your ideas for items you would like to see added to our playground. Keep in mind, the district will update our big structures over the next 5 years. We are looking to add equipment and more things for kids to do in our grassy areas.
Shine Out by Shouting Out the Strengths of Others
I recently read a chapter out of a book called, Poor Student, Rich Teaching, by Eric Jensen. It was specifically about teaching children how to find hope when they are hopeless. First, Jensen says to think of something that brings you peace. For example drawing or writing about feelings often brings children peace. Then, he said to write one small gratitude down. Lastly, do one act of kindness for someone else. This 'formula' for hope brings small glimmers of hope that build into beacons of hope when this becomes a daily practice, and it works for adults just like it does for children.
