"Auburn Pride Starts Inside"
March 4, 2021
Dear Auburn Families,
March is Reading Month has been off to a strong start!! I was walking down the hall yesterday and had the pleasure of hearing Bailee in Mrs. Connelly’s class read from the book during their book club. It was wonderful to hear her voice and see the students reading it together. Don’t forget to follow along on our calendar and to send me pictures and videos to post on Facebook!
We enjoyed having community readers in our classes in January so much that we invited everyone back in March! A great big thank you to the following readers who will be joining our classrooms throughout the month:
Senator Bayer
Pastor Chris Brooks
Jessica Guerra
Donearl Johnson
Dr. Carmen Kennedy
Terry Lang
Dr. Jay Marks
VeRonica Mitchell
Maryanne Munroe
Robin Ostergaard
Jane Ozmun
Adam Prout
Lt Mike Shaw
Anne Stevens
Pastor Isaiah Switzer
Chip Tischer

Although the pandemic has changed quite a few things for us, some of the changes at school have been for the better. One of those is our new format for morning announcements. The fourth grade has fully taken on morning announcements. They make a video the day prior and everyone is able to watch the next morning. The announcements include fun facts, birthday celebrations, connections to our P2 trait and this month, to Dragons in a Bag. It is wonderful to see the communication skills of our fourth grade students strengthen in just a few weeks of doing announcements. We are posting them on Facebook and I encourage you to check them out! It is definitely student leadership at its best.
PTO is selling popcorn! Who doesn't like popcorn? The great thing about this fundraiser is that it can all be done online and shipped directly to you. Please see the info below for more details.
A reminder that there is no school tomorrow.
Buddy Corner
It is not official, but I am hoping that Buddy is going to be able to visit in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!! We are still collecting toys and selling masks for $5 each.
Also, another huge shout out to our sponsor, Premier Pet Supply, for donating all of the goodies below! The bed, food dishes and collar and leash are all at Mr. Soncrainte's house, awaiting the arrival of Buddy!!

Positivity Project - Social Intelligence
Social intelligence is being aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You understand why they do things.
Social intelligence refers to a person’s ability to understand and manage interpersonal relationships. It is distinct from a person’s IQ or “book smarts.” It includes an individual’s
ability to understand, and act on, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of other people. This type of intelligence can take place “in the moment” of face-to-face conversations
but also appears during times of deliberate thinking. It involves emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
Happy Birthday To You!

We need Your Help with Our Yearbook!
We need your help! With the school year starting off remotely (and now continuing remotely), we have no fun photos of our students to include in the 2020-2021 yearbook. We still want to have fun memories of this school year that include our amazing students! It would also be a great way to include pictures of your children if you were not able to attend Picture Day.
Below will be a google link for you to attach pictures of your children. There is a folder for each grade, Leadership, Girl Scouts, and Spirit Week. Please send any photos you have to these various folders. We can’t guarantee that we can use all the photos shared with us, but we will do our best to include as many as we can.
If you’re unable to attach your photo, please feel free to email a copy of the photo to chelsey.stankiewicz@avondaleschools.org or Karin.Koberstein@avondaleschools.org with your child's name and which grade or group you would like the picture to be added.
Here is the link to the folders, please place your photo in the proper folder.
