A message from Mrs. Bolz: Dealing with Holiday Stress
"It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!" This song was made popular by singer Andy Williams when he released the song in 1963. As much as we believe that the holiday season is the BEST time of the year, it can also be one of the most stressful times of the year for adults and children alike. I have included a link (on the button below) to an article that outlines symptoms of stress in children and some pointers about keeping holiday stress under control. I hope that the tips provided will give you a boost and some peace of mind to joyfully celebrate the holidays. Wishing you only the happiest and healthiest of days for you and your family as you celebrate this holiday season.
It's a GREAT day to be a Bobcat at Dodd Elementary where we are...

House Tree Decorating
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We'll be adding to the holiday cheer by decorating a tree for each house on Friday, December 3rd 2:30-3:15. Each house will have a white tree assembled and ready to decorate.
Trees will represent each house color. Other colors may be included, but the house color will be the predominant color. Purchased and handmade ornaments will be the highlight of each tree. Be on the lookout for pictures of the finished products and the awards given to each house.
