Patterson Families,
We have had an incredible start to the 2018 - 2109 School Year and are looking forward to the rest of our preschoolers joining us on Monday!
All students are being introduced to our new Leader in Me initiative which focuses on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. All staff are working through a short introduction of each of the habits throughout September. In October our concentration as a building will be Habit 1, Be Proactive. As many of you have seen while walking through our halls during Meet the Teacher and the first days of school we are "Unmasking the Leader" in each of our students through a Superhero theme!
Next week we will be having an all school assembly to kick-off the Leader in Me as a building as well as draw the winners for the Summer Blast Kindle Fires and 4th/5th Grade Summer Reading Chromebook!
