Super Bowl Food Drive
Our PTA is sponsoring a food drive to help West Genesee families in need over the February break. Here's how to play: bring your food donation to school and add it to the bin of the team you want to win Super Bowl LV. Food bins will be available at each entrance from January 27th through February 5th. If you need support during this time, please contact me (Mrs. Craig), or Mrs. Rose, our school counselor, or you can fill out this form. Each grade level is asked to bring in a certain type of food. See the flyer pictured below for details. Thank you in advance for your support.
Positivity Project
This week we are learning about the Other People Matter (OPM) element of supporting others when they struggle. According to the Positivity Project, supporting other people when they struggle is a critical piece of being human. There are many different approaches to helping people who are struggling. These can include: listening while they describe an event and their feelings about it, taking action to help people in need, or simply just being there and sitting together in silence. Talking through a problem is a common way to help a person who is going through a tough time. Please talk with your children this week about how they can help others who may be struggling.
Reminders
As we approach the midway point in the school year, I thought it might be a good idea revisit a few things:
- Please make sure your child brings in their completed screening slip daily
- Please keep your child home if they have any symptoms of illness
- Please make sure your child has a clean mask to wear each day
- Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather
