This week’s games of the week are Ultimate Rock, Paper, Scissors and Debate Game, and the focus is courage. Courage is your ability to make good choices even when you are afraid or faced with a difficult situation. Courage is when you do not let fear hold you back from trying something new or doing the right thing. Having courage can open the door to many great opportunities. It helps you make new friends, find new interests you never knew you had, and take a stand on issues that matter.

The Literary Book Club is a program that helps replenish books in the school library. This program allows the child’s name to be permanently placed on the inside cover of the donation book, or they can be “dedicated” in honor of a teacher, staff member, friend, etc. If you are interested in joining the Literary Book Club, please fill out and return the form below. This form has also been sent home with your child from school.
