We Need Your Plastic
Please help us recycle and earn a bench for our school! We have collected almost half of the 2,000 needed items. As a reminder, we need #2 plastics that are not see-through (no more milk jugs). Usually, coffee containers, cleaners, and detergents are made with this kind of plastic. Even the Chick-fil-A and Subway Milk containers count!!!! Keep them coming. We hate to miss out on a free bench for our school.
Family Music Page- Updated Musical Info found here
Be sure to watch for updated information on Mrs. Low's page. Second-grade information is posted.
Counseling Lesson Theme- Perseverance
For the month of April, we are focusing on the word perseverance. Perseverance is the drive to keep working even when things get hard and you want to quit.
Practice it!
Help your child learn to persevere by engaging in difficult tasks with him/her. Buy a large puzzle, learn and perfect a new skill, etc.. Find something to do together and commit to pushing each other through the challenge.

Tell me about a time when it was hard to get through a challenge. How did you feel afterward?
What are some things that are hard for you to push through, and how can I help you?
