"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun."

- Winnie the Pooh

School is more fun when you have a friend to share it with! It's our goal that every student have other students in their class and grade-level they can talk to and that will encourage them during school.

Home & School Connections:

Sometimes, getting to know someone new can be a challenge! Talk with your child about how to meet new friends. You can even use some of these things to say:

• Hi! My name is _________. What's your name?
• What do you like to do for fun?
• Do you have any pets?
• What do you like to watch on TV?
• What's your favorite subject in school? Why?
