Announcements
Global Education at PUE
Our Sustainable Development Goal for the month is all about Peace and Justice. Students will learn about safety, peace, and conflict resolution this month. Our 5th grade team has planned a Great Kindness Challenge for our entire school. Teachers will talk with students about what kindness looks like. Students will be able to nominate one another for being kind by putting a colored heart on the “Kindness Grows” tree which will be displayed in the lobby. Hearts will also be sent home for parents to nominate their children. A video intro of the Great Kindness Challenge will be played on WPAW.
