VIRTUE OF THE WEEK
The virtue this week is CREATIVITY. Each week classes will select a student of the week who has demonstrated the week's virtue. Those students will be part of the morning show and get to announce their name at the end of the morning show on Fridays. Look for their names in next weeks newsletter.
Creativity is the power of imagination. It is discovering your own special talents. Dare to see things in new ways and find different ways to solve problems. With your creativity, you can bring something new into the world.

NOTES FROM THE NURSE
Dress for the weather!
We are seeing an increase of nurse visits for cold toes and and hands. Morning mileage club can be quite cold and students are crying that their toes are cold from wearing sandals. Thank you for taking the time to send your child to school with weather appropriate gear. Sadly, sandal weather is behind us.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Nurse Emily 761-4103
