Everett Weekly 2.3.23

February 3, 2023

Dear Everett Families,

It has been a chilly week! But not within the walls of Everett where kindness, hugs, and love abounds. I had a guest walking through the halls with me this week and she asked, "wow, how many hugs do you get each day?" "I sure am lucky," I said. Thank you for raising such amazing young citizens who are so caring and kind!

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to email me with your Black History Month submissions. It's been a great week of learning new facts and raising our awareness. Also, thank you to Sarah Lohr and Stephanie Bell for bringing the Spread the Love Valentines for the community to our lunchroom this week.

Warmest Regards,

Renée

All D67 Families are Invited to Highlight Your Heritage on March 8

In honor of World Language Week, we invite all District families to join us at Deer Path Middle School on Wednesday, March 8, for a night to travel around the globe and visit the different cultures that D67 represents. We are looking for families or groups who are willing to set up a table and make a poster board to share your heritage. Please respond on this Google form if you would like to participate.

Questions? Please contact Vail Kieser, Director of Teaching and Learning, vkieser@lfschools.net.

Consider reading this article on helping your children wipe themselves when they go to the restroom. As silly as this sounds, one of the challenges of being an elementary school is keeping our younger restrooms clean. The struggle is real, friends :) Thank you for any support with this task! :)

Kindness Rocks are back!!! Thank you, Mrs. VanDerveer's class for leading this amazing work!
