Principal Update
What a fun week we had with our STEAM Day on Thursday! Our students engaged in fun activities
exploring fossils, learning how to protect our environment, understanding the human body, and
learning about and holding live reptiles and farm animals. We want to thank our amazing PTO for
sponsoring such an engaging event that truly created a lasting learning experience for our students.
We are excited for our week ahead with our Winter Spirit Week and Winter Wonderland
performance. Have your students join in the fun and take a look at the Spirit Week schedule below.
Have a safe a restful weekend,

The Learner Profile for the month of December is Principled. Those who are principled act with integrity and honesty, and a strong sense of fairness, justice, and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups, and communities.

Activities for Parents
- Involve your child in deciding on the rules for a game or activity and then ensure that they stick to the ones that have been decided upon.
- Encourage your child to play games that involve teams. Discuss with your child the qualities of a team player. What sort of person would they want on their team?
