I am incredibly proud of the work our students are producing in class lately. From diligent note-taking to deep-diving into complex topics, their dedication is truly impressive. This month’s character trait is Grit, and it couldn’t be more fitting; our students are discovering firsthand how consistent effort pays off. As they watch their test scores rise, they are learning that hard work is the key to success. I am so proud of the progress they are making!

This Friday, students are invited to bring cards to exchange with their classmates! To ensure everyone feels included, please make sure that if your student participates, they bring a card for every person in the class. We want to ensure no one is left out of the fun. Additionally, Candy Grams will be delivered this Friday—it’s going to be a great day of celebrating friendship!

We have two spirit weeks that fall back-to-back. I know that can be a lot for you, so I want to give you the days now so you can prepare.
