Where's the Beef?? EES Beef Raffle is back again!
PTE will be doing a Beef Raffle this year as one of our fundraisers. We will be selling tickets for the raffle. Tickets will be sold for $2 per ticket or a book of 6 tickets for $10. There will be (4) winners and each winner will receive ¼ of a cow. Mays Meats will process the beef and have equal cuts of hamburger, steak, roast, etc for the 4 winners.
The tickets will go on sale October 10th, and the 4 winners of the beef will be announced at Family Night during the auction on November 5th.Habit 2 : Begin with the End in Mind
Think about how you want something to turn out before you start it. Goal setting is an important skill for success. Set a goal. Then, break it down into small manageable pieces.
PRACTICE THE HABITS AT HOME:
- Create a goal: Is there something your child wants that he/she can work for? Better reading skills, a day with a parent, a new toy or game? Help your child set the goal and define steps they can take to achieve it. Make sure it is attainable to create a positive experience.
- Look to the future: From the time they are small, adults ask kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Help your child identify an interest and then encourage activities, skills, books, or other opportunities that support that interest. Show them how these little steps can lead them to greater opportunities to use this interest in a variety ways or careers in their adult life. They very well may change their mind, but they will know you support them.
- Family Mission Statement: What kind of family do you want to have? What does your family value? What is your ultimate goal? Discussing it as a family and putting it in writing can help lead the whole family in a more positive direction. It can be simple: “We are kind to each other all the time so everyone will always like coming to our home.” Or it can be a paragraph. Whatever sums up your family and creates a positive picture everyone can feel a part of. Be sure to include everyone in your family in the process of creating the mission statement.
