- Snack: Please make sure that your student brings TWO snacks each day, one for a morning snack and one for an afternoon snack. Make sure your child knows not to eat their snacks with their lunch.
- April Advocacy: Our Advocacy Theme this month is Social Awareness.
This month, we are focusing on helping our students develop a deeper understanding of the feelings, needs, and perspectives of others.
Social awareness is a vital skill that promotes empathy, compassion, and inclusivity. By fostering social awareness in our students, we are nurturing their ability to engage with others in a respectful and understanding manner.
We invite you to join us in supporting this important theme by engaging in conversations with your children about empathy, active listening, and the importance of considering the feelings of others. Your involvement and support in reinforcing these values at home will further enhance the impact of our efforts at school.
We have a great week of learning planned for our students!
