Husky Happenings
March 8th, 2024
Message from Mrs. Sheppard
Happy Friday everyone!
Reading month has begun and we are doing lots of fun things in the building to celebrate. I put a section in this newsletter so you would be able to find the reading logs and the calendar so you are aware of what is going on.
Don't forget that on Sunday, we SPRING FORWARD one hour! Even though it takes a few days to adjust to losing an hour of sleep, that means longer days are coming and so is SPRINGTIME!!!! I love this time of year where we can be outside more often and later in the evening!!
Just a friendly reminder that we do not release students after 3:40 pm since we get out of school at 4:00. If you need to pick up your child early, please do so before 3:40 pm. The office gets very busy at the end of the day.
Next week in the Positivity Project we will talk about Love of Learning. Love of Learning means you master new topics on your own and in school. I love to learn new things! I think it is so important to show our students that we keep on learning even as an adult. Please read the parent letter to go along with this trait and see if you can find ways to work them into your daily conversations with your child. It also helps to give them scenarios when they might have to use this trait.
Please be sure to read through this newsletter carefully so that you are aware of things happening at Graham. Please know that you can always reach me by email or CLASSDOJO if you have any concerns or questions or you can call me during school hours. If you would like to meet with me, I would ask that you please make an appointment with my secretary, Mrs. Harper. You can also email me or send me a message on snap connect to see if I am available to meet with you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Sheppard
