Spotlights and Reminders
- This week we have a LATE START schedule for Thursday (school starts at 10 AM) and will have an Earthquake Drill shortly after, at 10:18 AM.
- This week’s theme is STRONG, aligned with the APEX Fun Run. Strength isn’t just about muscles; strength and endurance are what we use when we are doing something difficult, like finishing challenging work, or solving a problem with friends or classmates. Voyagers will be practicing strength in running, learning, and relating to others!
- The APEX Fun Run will hold its kickoff assembly on Tuesday morning right after the bell. Students will be inspired to do their best running at our annual APEX fundraiser, and we hope your runners will gain sponsors from friends and family members. The Fun Run is scheduled for Thursday, October 25th, during students' PE classes.
- If you have a Halloween costume to donate or trade, come to Friday Flagpole to swap costumes or donate to a local Girl Scout Troop collecting costumes for students at the Monarch School (bin in the office).
Silver Strand Safety and Security
Great California Shake Out: 10/18/2018 at 10:18 a.m.
On Thursday, October 18th at 10:18 a.m. our school, along with thousands of others, will participate in “The Great California Shake-Out” drill. This practice drill will give our students & staff an opportunity to practice how to protect themselves during an earthquake. In preparation, staff has taken appropriate measures within the past month to be sure classroom disaster supply bags are fully stocked and readily accessible. When the alarm sounds on Oct. 18th, teachers will give directions to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On,” an action that can save lives and reduce the risk of injury. After the drill, teachers may follow-up with their individual classrooms about earthquake safety. Please discuss your earthquake readiness plans at home as well.
