We are busy planning our annual Multi-Cultural Festival. It has become one of the highlights of the school year. We celebrate and synergize the cultures and heritages that make us who we are. This year's festival will be held on Friday, May 12, 2017. We are hoping to have at least 25 different countries represented.
If you would like to host a country, by yourself or with another family, there will be registration forms coming home in the Monday envelopes (and also attached here).
This is a well-attended, FREE event filled with food, flags, costumes, traditions, entertainment and a fashion show.
There is an application for student leaders who want to have Leadership responsibilities at the event, including participating in the
fashion show (also attached here). Tell your student to check the Application Station.
Big THANK YOU to the Filipek Family!

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #6: Synergize
What this means: Working together is better. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
“I get along well with other people and work well in groups.”
“I value the strengths of others and allow myself to learn from them.”
“I know that working together as a team we can get more done and come up with better solutions than we could alone.”
“I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems.”
How can I do this in my life?
With your children, choose a problem you may have (like curfew or completing tasks). Use the Synergy Action Plan to summarize your child's solution and your solution: (1) define the problem, (2) share your views, (3) think of solutions, (4) choose the best solution together. See if you can reach a better solution (The High Way) than either of you could come up with alone.
