Dear Parents,
Yesterday, we had our first snow fall of the season. If you ever want to see students really excited, let them stand at the window and watch the snow fall (or try and stop them!). When I left the building last night, I noticed a tree had fallen onto the school from the weight of the snow on the branches. This morning I arrived to school with full intentions of arranging for the tree to be removed, BUT as I crossed over Avenue B, the tree was no longer leaning on the school. As I got closer, I noticed the tree was standing- perfectly straight! It just popped back up, the snow no longer weighed it's branches down. I immediately connected the experience to our students and how we continually teach them about a growth mindset and how to be resilient in tough times. What a lesson for all of us- if you fall, get back up!
A reminder that K-8 Q1 Parent Teacher Conferences are on Tuesday from 3:30-6pm. Please follow any updates from your child's teacher about scheduling a conference. Our middle school teachers do not have scheduled conference times, but you will be able to meet with any or all of the teachers during that time.
The last day to bring in socks is Wednesday. Tuesday is CRAZY sock day! Students can wear their craziest, silliest, most fun socks/tights to school! While you are looking for those silly socks, bring in a pair to donate!
There is NO after school on Wednesday since many of our families and staff will be traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday. There is also a 12pm dismissal (and $1 dress down) that day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Carone
Make the most of Parent Teacher Conferences. Some great questions for Tuesday!
