School service projects

I would like to thank all of the students and parents who participated in student led conferences they all went really well.  Please remember that to reach some of these goals, we need parent involvement at home.  Practicing multiplication facts and reading aloud to your child is a simple way to get students to excel in class.
Another thing that would be an excellent activity to try at home would be holding weekly family meetings. Each member of the family can have a voice about the household issues and any fun future plans you are making. That way your family can reinforce the positive discipline tools that they are learning in the classroom. These could be a wonderful way for your student to practice leadership and speaking skills by leading the meeting.  Perhaps they could work on writing in the family agenda log by being secretary?  By holding weekly meetings, you can help maintain a consistency between home life and school.

Last week students began on their school service projects.  The students divided into teams based of their interests.  Many of the projects will require outside assistance from parents and the community.  The students    decided that they wanted to form a green outreach team, school beautification crew, newspaper and documentary group, and a fundraising committee.  Students are very excited to be giving back to the community.

The students have been planning a Halloween party this Wednesday.  They decided that they wanted to have a dance party in one room and a movie playing in the other room so students could have an option as to which activity they would like to participate in.  The party will begin right after lunchtime (1:15).  If you would like to help out bringing items to the party please click on the following link.
