The Benefits of Being Grateful
I bet you learned to say “Thank you” when you were a very young child! We call this having “good manners”. But there’s more to being grateful than just saying “Thank you”. If you’re feeling down, overwhelmed, or a little bit discouraged, focusing on gratitude could really help your mood! Keeping your focus on the positive things in life can make a positive impact every day.

Set At Home Expectations
For example, we ask students to “Be Respectful” (what’s expected) in the classroom (where it’s expected) by raising their hand before speaking (the desired behavior). These charts can be found on the school’s website homepage and all over campus. These can be adapted by families to fit the home setting. Examples of an expectations table for home and school are below.
College Kick-off🏈
Hey there Knights,
This week is College Kick-off week. Many of you have already participated in our flip grid contest and we are loving all of your fun videos letting us know what your dream college is. If you haven't participated yet, you still have time. We will continue to post different college and career activities and resources throughout this week. You will be able to explore career and college rooms and even see different staff members and their educational journeys! Stay tuned! Please check your google classroom for these announcements. Prizes will be awarded!!! Thank you Knights!Meal Distribution Changes
