I just want to thank you all for your overwhelming generosity to help support our student in the hospital, along with his family. Mom knows they will be receiving gifts this weekend and she is so grateful for our help. I recognize that this is in addition to the many gifts that had already been donated by you for our county toy bank.
We had a former staff member (Mr. Sullivan from long, long ago) visit yesterday. He didn't know about this current situation, but talked to me about how he knows the needs in our district are great, but remembers teachers "back in his day" always doing whatever was necessary to help our students have what they need so they would be ready to learn. I told him that I would bet that our teachers are even more supportive today, because you do so many things to help care for our students. This really is an amazing place to work...together with all of you to help make a difference in the lives of our students and their families.
Events after winter break: 3 more weeks of 2nd quarter!
Tuesday, Jan 2nd - back at it!
Wednesday, Jan 3rd - Elementary staff meeting 3:10
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Keep in mind that as you come back from break you may need to treat the first days back just like the first days of school; reviewing expectations, practicing routines, class community building, etc.*Notes from the PBIS committee (this was in Mr. Lange's email):
Winter Attire Expectations:
K-2: snow pants / boots for wood chips and grass; blacktop if they only have shoes.
3-5: snow pants and boots for grass; boots for wood chips; blacktop if they only have shoes.
Character Trait:
We will close out this month's character trait of "Kindness". Thanks for supporting this. Next month's trait will be "Being Safe". Looking forward to February, some staff suggested "Compassion" as our trait along with a possible class door decorating contest. More detail to follow....
Trojan Trail:
The Trojan Trail is closed for the season. We now have kids not wearing boots outside so they don't have to run :(
