Question of the week from Principal Harp

Each week, I will be sending out a question with which you will be given the opportunity to engage in a new conversation with your child. We all know how hard it is to draw out responses other than, "nothing" or "fine" when we ask "What did you do today?" or "How was school?" Be sure to use open ended follow-up questions and statements such as "Tell me more about that!" or "What did you think of that?" Please ask your student(s) the question below, share their response with us and make our day! You can submit more than one response! (No need to put names or identifying words.)

Tell me something you're looking forward to right now!

The Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports focus for this week is to respect our community by picking up garbage! We have a lot of garbage being left around campus and want to do our part to beautify Penngrove! We have assigned grades to Zones of campus so we can be more aware of specific areas:

TK/Kinder will focus on the kinder playground

1st grade will focus on the steps behind rooms 8 and 9, and the garden area

2nd grade will focus on the quad in front of rooms 12 and 13

3rd will focus on hallways in front of classrooms

4th will focus on the multi and the breezeway from the main building to the playground

5th and 6th will focus on the playground and track.

Any time you are on campus with your student, please help us keep our school clean!

As of right now, we have football Mondays and Fridays only. We are looking for volunteers to come in to support our students in doing things they enjoy on their breaks from learning- we want football to be fun, but we need to ensure everyone's safety. Please click here if you are able to share some time & "ref" recess football. The link includes the schedule & expectations for students and volunteers.

Everyone is welcome to help out!

Hello friends!

We are keeping busy and being flexible with this amazing weather we are having. We have seen so many rainbows this week! I hope you are all getting outside and enjoying the change of season as we head into winter. The solstice is coming up on the 21st and we will be studying this celestial event in garden.

Volunteers if it is actively raining check your child’s classroom we may be in there if we are not up in the garden. Thank you so much to our amazing parent volunteers your time and care is great appreciated.

Please come to a house pant sale on Tuesday Dec 13th in the greenhouse at the far end of the garden. All proceeds will go towards the 6th graders pond upgrade project in the garden. We will have cute little succulents and many spider plant pots for sale that the students decorated and planted. Please bring cash or check books and come adopt some new houseplants! I will be here all day the 13th until 4pm stop by! Have your student show you around garden and come say hi!

We also have a holiday fundraiser at Flower Power if you need some holiday gifts please check out our website here http://PenngroveGardenProgram.fpfundraising.com we will receive 50% of your purchase price!!
