April Life Skill for the Month- “Making Wise Choices”
Making Wise Choices involves… making a choice that reflects what is true or right in our heart and mind; it means that we think through our choice, and we understand that the choices we make have consequences--either positive or negative (or sometimes both).
What wise choices might look like at school:
• Focusing on your teacher, so you can do your best learning.
• Choosing friends who play in a fair and kind way.
• Eating a healthy, balanced snack at recess.
• Working through problems by using your words.
• Using a dictionary to help you spell words.
• Cooling down when you feel angry or upset.
• Rereading the directions and rechecking your answers.
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your child this year!

Zariyah Dias, Lily Schuck, Bree Martin, Molly Ellis, Emma Gibson, and Treyce Dooley

Let's show our school spirit!
Students are encouraged to wear school colors or Kingston T-shirts every Friday. School colors are blue and white. Wearing school colors each week is a proactive way of reminding students to maintain our safe and caring school. Each class that has at least 50% or more students wearing school colors will have their class name entered in a drawing. Two classes will win the Cool Cat sign to be placed on their door for the week, as well as some type of incentive (candy, ice cream, chips, etc). Each week we hope to choose a different class. Please encourage your child to participate in Spirit Day every Friday!
Congratulations to our Spirit Day Winners, Mr. Lipak's 5th grade class and Mrs. Sawyer's 4th grade class!
