Character Education
Our focus Character Trait for October is Courage. Please ask your child about the lessons on Courage that they will be a part of on Wednesdays, during the month of October.
Career Awareness
During the month of November, we will be focusing on career awareness. Students will be learning about the relationship between educational achievement and career success. They will learn how their interests and achievement relate to achieving personal, social, educational, and career goals. Following our month long focus, we will host a career day where students will learn about a variety of occupations utilizing various educational backgrounds. We are looking for volunteers to present careers, and we'll also need volunteers to help host. If you are interested in volunteering, please use the following links to submit your interest.
