Thankfulness

Thankfulness is our character education trait for the month. Last week our fifth graders taught the school about ways to be thankful. The 5th Grade Student Council explained their "Thankfulness" project. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. Because of your generosity, we will be able to provide many local families with a Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you to the PTA for doing some of the shopping!

Liam, Ben, and Emron work together to pack the dinner boxes.

Our Shared Decision Making Committee continues to meet and discuss ways to keep our new cafeteria running smoothly. We are trying to incorporate the character education trait of the month in some fashion. This month we had each student write what they were thankful for when it comes to the cafeteria. Mr. Joe was a big hit!

We are fortunate to have the Merry-Go-Round Theater come to our school several times throughout the year. In the picture below students are learning about the Haudenosaunee. It's so nice to be able to have these presentations in our new cafeteria!

The words of the day for this week were sly (M,K), monstrous (T, 1), wondrous (W, 3), convenient (Th, 4), and longed (F, K). Next week's words are cherished (M, 1), and interconnected (T, 3).

Please remember that Monday and Tuesday are half-days with an 11:30 dismissal. Parent conferences will be held on the afternoons of Monday and Tuesday, even if there are weather delays. If you are not sure of your conference time, please call the office at 487-4648.

If I don't see you before then, have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!
