We have our new teacher/certified staff breakfast check in at 7:30 am, in room 5.

Please remind children about the new walk and talk activity starting on Monday the 26th. This will be occurring on Mondays and Fridays. We have staff members who will be walking and talking with students starting at 7:30 am. Chilly mornings, but a great positive start to the day for kids.

A big thank you to everybody who assisted with the Thanksgiving lunch and the Title 1 family night event. The family night event had fun math, reading, and family games, and even warm yummy pancakes in the library.

One of my favorites during family night was Mrs. Easterling quietly putting together food boxes with families, from our school pantry, so families have food over the long break. A big thank you also to our school counselor for working with a community group so six families will have a yummy Thanksgiving meal over the break, even with hams and turkeys. Please let us know in the office if you have any students who could use a box of food for the long break. We are happy to call and check in with families.

Enjoy the Thanksgiving break with your friends and family. Thought for today:
