Message from our wonderful Librarian
Parents, all books must be returned by Friday, May 20th. Books not returned by that date will be marked lost, and a fine will be entered into your child's record. Please help your student return them as soon as possible. Many, many books still need to be returned. There will be a drawing for the large monkey, Groot, and Snoopy, for those who have returned their books by the 20th.
We will be having summer library again this year. The first day will be June 21st and will continue each Tuesday through July. The time will be posted next week, but it will be around the same time as summer school classes end.
Book Battles for 5th and 6th grades will be next week. The dates and times will be in the next Sand-O-Gram.

News from our School Counselor Claire Caldwell
Kids learn resiliency best from adults modeling it for them (especially parents). For example, if we are telling our children we want them to handle their emotions while we are completely losing control, it won’t work. One thing we all know is that parenting takes a lot of practice and we will make mistakes, probably more than we would like. But it’s okay to make mistakes! It’s actually a great time to model resiliency. Say something like, “I’m sorry I handled that poorly – I messed up. Let me try that again or what I should have done was…” No one is as forgiving as our kids, and admitting mistakes helps them to see we all learn from them.
