Dear Falcon Families,

We hope that you are reading this after a wonderful Thanksgiving break that was full of time to reconnect with family and friends. The Blue Crew is incredibly thankful for your support. December is off to a successful, albeit snowy start. Thank you for being flexible and supportive as we walked through unanticipated cancellations and schedule changes. As we experience the wonder of the first snowfall and enter a season of expectation--a season that celebrates light, peace, and joy--we hope that you and your children enjoy this time.

While we don’t want to ignore the real challenges we face every day, we do want to bring balance to our hearts and minds both at school and at home by purposefully seeking ways to show each other that we love and care for one another each day. As you will note in the Purposefull Family section, this month's focus is on building our empathy muscles--building our ability to understand and connect to the feelings of another. And while digital devices allow a semblance of connection, they don't help adults or children truly connect, communicate, and understand each other deeply.

During the time of year when it is easy to get caught up in doing and giving of things, we encourage you to pause, put the devices down, be fully present with each other, and connect. Maybe build a snowman, put a puzzle together, play Legos, have a tea party, tell stories, play catch, take a walk--whatever it is, make time to be fully present with your child and enjoy each other.

Make it a great day to be a Falcon!

Wade Jerdee, Assistant Principal & Adam Uhler, Principal
