The Polser Pride
Week of November 4th - November 8th, 2019
What's Happening this Week?
I have been behind in my Polser Pride's and I do apologize. What a great week of Red Ribbon Events. Thank you Miss Garrett for all you do to organize such a great week for our students and faculty. I think everyone enjoyed Rowdy! Go COWBOYS....
We have a few events happening this week. Mrs. Godbey, Assistant Chief of Schools, will be here walking our campus on Wednesday, November 6th, from 1:00-2:30. She would love to see engineering lessons happening during this time. I know you all will not disappoint.
Please welcome Ray Ramon, ESL Instructional Support, who will be replacing Danielle Mitchem. According to Employee Services, he will be on campus Monday, November 4th.
There is a Team Leader Meeting on Wednesday, November 6th at 3:30 in the conference room.
Polar Bear Dash is happening on Thursday, November 7th rain or shine. I have emailed the schedule and important information. Any staff member that donates to the Polar Bear Dash receives $20 off their Spring Semester jean payment. I apologize for not providing specials on this day. You are welcome to leave early this week once your students have left for the day. I know this is not much with our schedule. Please know I will make it up to you somehow. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Stuff the Pantry is happening this week, November 4th - November 8th. Please donate cans, canned evaporated milk, canned fruit, instant boxed potatoes, canned pie filling, canned yams, boxed stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, canned corn or baking mixes if able.
On Friday, November 8th, you are welcome to wear athletic wear as a reward for our past few busy weeks! All I ask is that your athletic wear is school appropriate. This is also our college shirt day. ENJOY!
Our Veterans Day Ceremony is on Monday, November 11th, at 9:00 a.m. in the gym. We are asking staff and students to wear red, white, and blue on this day. We have some great things planned and welcome any military family members of staff and students to attend. I would love to have thank you cards created by our Kinder & 1st grade students if possible. I welcome 2nd & 3rd grade to create posters or a class banner to hang in the gym. Please know this is optional.
Please take a moment to read the article How to Raise an Optimistic Human in a Pessimistic World https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/how-to-raise-an-optimistic-human-in-a-pessimistic-world
I have added the dates for November. Please let me know if there is anything incorrect or not on the calendar. I know October was a tough month- I appreciate how hard you all work. I will be at a conference Monday and Tuesday. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for all you do,
Lisa
