CRUSADER NEWS THAT YOU CAN USE....

This Week's Recap....
VERY IMPORTANT.. our PK through K5 classes will be performing in their Thankgiving program this Tuesday, November 20th beginning at 9AM. If your child is in one of these classes, please arrange your schedule so that you can attend.
This week we celebrated our students who earned Honor Roll and Principal's list during the 1st grading period. We are very proud of you! Thank you to the parents who came.
We learned about "Intrinsic Motivation" which is the motivation that comes from within to be successful and always strive to do our best. That is different that extrinsic motivation, which is motivation that comes from either the offer of an award or some other type of a bribe or offer, or the threat of a consequence if what needs to be done, is not done. It is not bad motivation for short term, but it does not have long lasting effects because when the reward or consequence is not offered, then the motivation is still lacking. We want to always encourage our children to have INTRINSIC motivation because it is long lasting and withstands adversity and challenges.
The students who sold 10 items or more in the fall sale had a great time at their field trip to the Ninja Lounge and Cice's pizza. We appreciate the support of all of our families in making this fundraiser successful.
Our PTL packed boxes and boxes of items for OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD and these were dropped off at a distribution center on Tuesday night. I wish we could be there to see the faces of children in impoverished countries when they are given their box to open! Thank you to our PTL.
Sunday is the 90th birthday of Mickey Mouse! To celebrate, students may wear any DISNEY shirt on Monday with uniform bottoms if desired. Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse!
There is early release on Wednesday and no school on Thursday and Friday of next week.
Thank you for your support of our teachers and our school. I pray that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

If you read nothing else in this newsletter, READ THIS
The difference in a child who ONLY reads the required material in school and the children who READS AT LEAST 20 MINUTES PER DAY outside of school is substantial.
Chaperoning Field Trips
This is now on the back side of all permission slips. if you volunteer to chaperone, please read and sign the reverse side as well to acknowledge that you have read it and understand what we need you to do to help keep our kids cared for:
Chaperone Information:
Our teachers need parents or guardians to volunteer as chaperones for field trips or other activities to help provide proper supervision of the children and to assist the teachers as needed. We appreciate chaperones very much and the children greatly enjoy sharing a field trip or activity with their parent.
If you agree to participate in a field trip or any other school activity as a chaperone, please understand that you are not going on the the trip as a bystander to get service hours. It is required that you be an active participant in the trip or activity.
If you volunteer to be a chaperone, you are agreeing to the following:
You have completed a background check via the link provided to you by Holy Cross Lutheran School.
You are physically able to participate fully in all aspects of the field trip (i.e, you are able to walk or otherwise transport yourself, you can be in the sun if applicable, you can be in the water, etc.)
You will take part in all activities associated in the field trip that are required by the teachers, including but not limited to supervision of children inside and outside, helping with getting on and getting off of the bus, helping to carry materials if needed, helping with lunch, monitoring play areas, being in charge of a small group of children, etc.
You are welcome to ride on the bus if there is room. Otherwise, you must provide your own transportation.
You may not bring siblings with you on the field trip because your attention needs to be on the group of children you are responsible for.
