Hello Families,

The school provides a gratitude feast for the community every November.  If you are willing to provide help with this wonderful event please sign up under the We Join In link on this blog.  You can help by volunteering your time or providing food.  Thanks for your help with this.

Also, remember Friday is early out.  Students will be dismissed at 1:00 p.m.  Thank you to the families who provided last minute snack this week.  It really helped!  You are all so wonderful.

I also wanted to share with you how great the students are doing.  We have started holding classroom meetings where we problem solve agenda items and conduct a compliment circle.  It is fantastic to see them noticing the strengths of others and sharing in building each others confidences.  They are creating solutions for problems using the 3 R’s : related, respectful and reasonable.  They are using some great thinking skills and seeing how their solutions are working to resolve agenda items.
