Happy New Year! We have had some crazy weather welcoming us into the new year, but the students were able to get outside this week for recess which is great news. We have also almost collected 700 gently used books for our January Book Drive. THANK you to all the families and students who have contributed. Also, thank to the middle school girl scouts who are helping to label, sort and count all the books. We are still accepting books, so feel free to send them in. These books are going to become welcome additions to expanding teachers classroom libraries. Thank you to families for following the entrance and exit procedures during car rider. It has improved, thank you.
We are continuing with our PBIS approach and will be having an All school meeting in January on respect. We are in the beginning stages of developing a pawsitive system for recognizing behaviors that display our core values of respect, resilience and responsibility. We will keep families updated as we progress with this.
A few reminders that we have an early release day on January 26th. Please be sure to send in a note if students are going home by a different means of transportation. Also, lunches will not be served.

Lastly, Barnes and Noble is doing a favorite teacher contest. I have attached the directions and the link to the contest if any students would like to participate at home. Feel free to not only send the copy into Barnes and Noble but also to your teacher. What a nice way to appreciate and acknowledge a teacher regardless of winning the contest.
