Last week Ms. O’Keefe conducted a school-wide assembly for
us. She taught us about patience and acceptance, our March character education
traits, during the first part of the assembly. During the second part of the assembly she kicked off our second
Wellness Week which begins today. We were impressed with students’ knowledge of the various food
groups. Your child should be bringing home a packet today with
more information about Wellness Week.
One of our Girl Scout Troops also spoke
to the school about their loose change drive that they are conducting for the
Humane Society as part of a badge they are trying to earn.
We have a
lot of great events coming up this month. Mark your calendars for the following
events:
