You Are Here  

You are here: November 5. It's been five weeks since fall break, and fatigue is setting in for all involved. There are two general options available at this point of the semester "marathon." Students will be tempted to walk or slide into Thanksgiving. The better way is to focus effort these next two weeks and to cross the holiday finish line before resting. Then, that rest will be particularly sweet! We all expect learning to occur at a school, and we want students to learn lessons that will help students in "real life." Giving a solid effort at crucial times is a powerful lesson to learn indeed. And like in sports, this type of effort is made more possible with a lot of mutual encouragement.

Box Tops for Education
Thanks to all families who have been contributing Box Tops for Education coupons. Parent coordinator Erin Southerland reports that over 2,000 box tops were submitted for the fall.
