Note From Principal Atkins

Families,

It was so fun to see the SPIRIT shared in the building this week as students participated in Spirit Week. I saw so many amazing and thoughtful outfits on display! It was a great way to lead us into our long Thanksgiving Break.

I enter this Break full of gratitude for our staff, our students, and our entire community. We all learn from each other, and we all grow together. I am thankful to each of you for being a part of this special space. Please remember that there is NO school tomorrow, so we will not see students again until Monday, November 29th.

I hope you have time to view this week's Stedman News - it brought a smile to my face, and I am sure it will to yours as well.

As the weather shifts, please remember to send your child with a winter jacket on chilly days. If you are in need of a jacket, please let us know so we can take care of that! Email alison_larson@dpsk12.org.

It's exciting to see so many students showing off their vaccine bandaids or stickers proudly! Be sure to see below for information on how to sign your 5+ year old child up for a COVID vaccine. We encourage everyone who is able to help us get out of this pandemic by protecting ourselves and others with a vaccine.

I hope this Break is full of rest, joy, gratitude, health, and fun. I love you all to life!

Michael Atkins
