Dear Families,
Happy Halloween! Oh, the costumes and the creativity! Thank you PTG for hosting coffee on the yard. I hope the students will follow the safe Halloween tips shared by the SLC at morning announcement: Bring a flashlight, don't eat too much candy, and don't stay out too late on a school night! Smart advice.
Reclaiming Childhood in a Digital Age: Our next parent education night will be on Wednesday, November 15
th at 7:00pm in the Hall. This event is so important that I am asking at least one parent from students grade 5-8 to attend this event and encourage parents from ALL grades to attend. There is an epidemic of anxiety, depression, and addiction that is afflicting our youth. Children today are growing up in a world so different, filled with technology and social media and they need help navigating this world. Dr. Richard Freed, author of Wired Child, will be our presenter. Please

He began to teach them.”

Come Play in TK and K: The best way to market our school is by personal recommendation. Please spread the word to any potential families with young children that we have a fabulous opportunity for them to visit our TK and K classrooms, interact with our students, play in the classroom and participate in other fun hands-on activities. This event will be held on November 13, from 8:30am to 9:30am.
