Weekly Updates 11/9/2026

As Veterans Day approaches, we want to pause and extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the brave men and women in our community and across the nation who have served in our armed forces. Thank you for your selfless service, dedication, and sacrifice in protecting our country and preserving our freedoms! In honor of this important holiday, please remember that there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11th. We hope our families enjoy this meaningful day together. 

 Our school health office is currently running low on spare clothing and could really use a helping hand. We are in urgent need of gentle-use or new boys' clothing in sizes 5 through 8 (pants and shirts are especially appreciated). If you are clearing out closets or have items your child has outgrown, please consider dropping them off at the front office—your generous donations help ensure our students stay clean, dry, and comfortable throughout the school day! With the cooler fall weather settling in, our lost and found pile is growing rapidly! 

As students wear extra layers to school, items often get left behind on the playground or in the cafeteria. Please take a quick moment to write your child's first and last name on the inside tags of all jackets, coats, sweatshirts, and lunchboxes. Having a clear name makes it fast and simple for our staff to reunite lost belongings with their rightful owners before items pile up. Finally, we love seeing our students grow as confident readers, and you play a key role in that journey! 

A simple, powerful way to support literacy at home is to set aside just 15 minutes of shared reading time each evening. As you read together, pause to ask open-ended questions like, "What do you think will happen next?" or "Why do you think the character made that choice?" These quick conversations not only build crucial vocabulary and comprehension skills, but they also create wonderful bonding moments at the end of the day.
