The Principal's Message
What a great week it has been! Students and staff enjoyed Spirit Week. Rolls-Royce employees spent an entire day building garden boxes, weeding, and cleaning up our outdoor spaces. Brothers Helping Brothers (BHB) mentoring began, and students worked hard to complete another week of learning.
Next week is pretty exciting too! Our Book Fair will run all day on Tuesday through Friday. Our first family night is Tuesday. We will serve dinner, yes, DINNER, through a partnership with Second Helpings. Dinner will be served from 5:00-6:00. It is free for the entire family! Our Family Resource Night will begin promptly at 6:00 and run through 7:30. The Book Fair will be open throughout the evening too! We hope to see you there.
Also, next week our scholars will get to shop at our Eagle Bucks Store. Our popcorn sales every other week support this store. Students earn Eagle Bucks by following the school's core values of Responsibility, Safety, and Respect. They also receive them for working hard, completing work, and using strategies taught in class. Scholars can use the Eagle Bucks to purchase items that they can keep. I know they are excited!
Lastly, if you have not signed up for your Student-Led Parent Conference on October 3rd, your child will be bringing home a scheduling letter today. Please complete it and send it back on Monday. Your child's teacher will confirm the time and send you a confirmation letter on Wednesday.
Enjoy your weekend!
