A message from our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Savage
Hello Pontiac Families!
As we bring October to a close and welcome in the month of November, I can’t help but think of Thanksgiving. While Thanksgiving brings up images of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, it also reminds us to be thankful for all that we have. I’m so very grateful for my family and friends, the country we live in, and the incredible students that I get the privilege of working with everyday!
We’re excited to introduce our “Family Writing Project”! Writing together brings families closer and helps to ignite creativity. Each month we will feature a family writing project theme. If you would like to participate, please send in your family writing and we will display it on our “Family Writing Project” bulletin board. You may also share photos of you and your family while you are writing.
Our theme for the month of November is GRATITUDE. Please use the GRATITUDE writing template that is coming home with students today to write about what your family is grateful for. You are welcome to write a poem, a story, or any other format you prefer...it’s time to be creative! When you are done writing, simply send it to school with your child and we will display it.
We are so looking forward to sharing in this special season of Thanksgiving with our Pontiac Family!
Richer than I you will never be, I have a family who writes with me!
