December is here! The temps are dropping and the days are getting shorter. The upcoming weeks can become quite overwhelming, as families prepare for gatherings, special travels, and perhaps some shopping outings in preparation for special traditions. Routines sometimes fall to the wayside along with daily reading practices, consistent homework support, and even family meals.
I hope that at this busy time, you will be able to take the time to just enjoy being together as a family. Perhaps you can sit down and read a book together, play a board game, or watch a movie together. Just spending time with your child is one of the best ways to show him or her that you care.
I, along with the staff here at Westside Elementary School, would like to wish all of you a joyous Holiday Season and a safe and Happy New Year.
