CHARACTER FOCUS - RESILIENCE
How does your child do when he/she failed a test? How about losing a game? Do they easily give up on the subject or go back keeping working on it?
Resilience is the capacity to withstand and to recover quickly from stress and difficulties. We want our children be resilient, because life is not a smooth ride forever, there are always bumps and accidents on the road. We cannot make these disappear from anyone’s life, so it is essential to be prepared for them.
Here are a few good movies for kids that instill resilience in children:
1. Mulan
2. Princess Diaries 2
3. The Perfect Game
4. ANTZ
5. Finding Nemo
6. Babe
7. Remember the Titans
8. Rudy
9. Wonder
10. October Sky

HAVE YOUR REGISTERED YOUR CHILD?
It is very important that students be registered for the 2019-20 school year as soon as possible to ensure placement at the current home school. Registration completed after May 3 may result in placement at another D200 elementary school due to class size or other considerations.
Please call the Olson office if you need any assistance with registration - 815-338-0473.

Please complete the form if you are interested in having your child attend and return it to school. Do not send payment at this time.
