Sem Elementary - Dedicated Every Day in Everyway!
Dear Sem Families,
Here in a few short weeks, the book fair will be all setup and ready to go at Sem Elementary. Students seem to absolutely love the book fair and all that it brings so I hope you will plan to join us for some different events during that week. In addition, please consider volunteering for the book fair. It is a great way to get involved and see all the students at Sem Elementary. Please email Alison Andrews at tandrew@tx.rr.com with the day and time you are available to help. You may also go to http://sem.my-pta.org to sign up through our volunteer link as well. Thanks so much!
Are you interested in learning about a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset? If so, please check out the link below that will lead you to some videos on the differences. As a staff we have talked about having a growth mindset, so we will be looking to learn more as well. At some point, it would be great to also talk to students about having a growth mindset. Please feel free to share with your child as you see fit as well!
Hope you all have a great weekend and stay warm!
Best,
Mr. Gonzales
