Dear Families,
We have made it
through another week. I am so glad the weather has been nicer out to allow the
children to play outside and get some fresh air. This week is teacher
appreciation week. Normally we would have a staff luncheon provided by the PAC
with celebrations all week long from students and other staff thanking our
staff. Our amazing PAC is still sending some nice cards to all the staff to
thank them for all they do and are planning a pizza party upon their return.
Last week we had Ivy
the dog announce birthdays. If you missed it, here is the link. This week I am
trying for a different special guest to do the announcing. If any families have
any connections to someone who would give a birthday shout out, please let me
know!
Also, national poetry
month flip grid was a huge success. We had almost 50 students participate in
creating videos or sending in poetry. It was amazing. If any families or
students would like to participate this month in a project I would like to make
the teachers a cook book to give to each of them. I have created a google drive
folder that you can upload a recipe. It can be a handwritten recipe, a copy of
a recipe, picture either drawn or with your child. Be creative and all ideas
are welcome. Please note that this will be for others to see if you are
choosing a picture of your child. Once the recipe books are complete I will
create a PDF booklet for families to print from home and create a book for each
staff member. Any personalization your child can add the better. First names
and last initial or initials only unless you write from the _____ Family.
I hope this will make for a fun memory during this time. If you would
like to upload directly to the google folder you can do so at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JaGOo2qt1JU9SCGA9aWQl7xVi0nq_oX0?usp=sharing
If not, you are welcome to email me directly and I will take care of the
uploading. I will be collecting these until the end of May.
Lastly, from
reviewing the survey I sent out last week parents/guardians have expressed
interest in a principal office hour. I am going to set one up for this
Wednesday at 12:30. The invite link will come in a separate email. Please do
not share the link online for privacy and security.
Thank you all for all
you do every day. I know this has been a challenge for everyone. Take each day
as it comes, reach out if you need help in anything. We are all here to support
you and the students.
