February 17, 2022
Dear EAMS Students and Families,
A reminder to all families that there is no school for students tomorrow, February 18th, or Monday, February 21st.
This past Monday, our students engaged in the Attitude of Gratitude activity. As a follow-up to that activity, I wanted to share this short video from the Committee for Children. It is designed for families and discusses the importance of celebrating gratitude. Next Friday, our Readiness Lesson focuses on Positive Attitudes and Growth Mindset. Middle school is a time of change for our students, and this lesson is an important reminder that things do change in life, but they do not have to be permanent. A positive outlook and belief in improving yourself can make changes for the better!
Our recent Readiness Lessons have focused on social relationships and connecting with other people, and I wanted share a brief success story. One of our students was “caught” this week leaving positive messages and small pieces of paper around the building. This student did this on their own and brought true happiness to those that found them!
Next Thursday, EAMS will be hosting our first ever Service Fair. Working with the Elkhorn Resiliency Coalition, over 30 service organizations in the area are coming to meet with our 7th and 8th-grade students. Students will learn about local non-profits, how to volunteer and help, and how to connect people in need with non-profit organizations. You can read more about the upcoming experience here.
As items come up that you have questions or concerns about, please do not hesitate to contact me, have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ryan McBurney
Principal
