    I cannot believe that it is already February!  We have some great things happening this month! Our PTC is hosting our Daughter Dance this Friday.  If you have not purchased tickets please do so as soon as possible.  Please join us at our PTC What's for Dinner event on February 18, 2020.

    This month's Character Trait is Integrity.  The Thomas Jefferson definition of Integrity is "doing the right thing even when it is hard and no one knows." Our staff will be focusing on this character trait throughout the month by teaching our Second Step Lessons, reading books and using target talk.  We hope you will focus on this at home too.

WE NEED READERS !

 COMMUNITY READ ALOUD
MARCH 2, 2020
9:45-10:45

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,

To pick up a book and read with a child.

You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,

To pick up a book and share what you've got.

In schools and communities,

Let's gather around,

Let's pick up a book,

Let's pass it around.

There are kids all around you,

Kids who will need

Someone to hug,

Someone to read.

Come join us March 2nd

Your own special way

And make this America's

Read to Kids Day.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER IF YOU ARE ABLE TO READ TO YOUR CHILD'S CLASS AND IF YOU WOULD BE OPEN TO READING TO OTHER CLASSES.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BRING YOUR OWN BOOK OR WE WILL SUPPLY YOU ONE FROM OUR LIBRARY!
