ADL C.A.R.E.S. Day
On Thursday, June 10, we are celebrating ADL C.A.R.E.S. Day! Over the past few weeks, our Chargers have been challenged to finish the year strong by participating in the ADL C.A.R.E.S. Challenge. C.A.R.E.S. stands for:
CELEBRATE: to show happiness and joy for someone
APPRECIATE: to recognize the importance and worth of someone
RESPECT: to act in a way that shows someone their needs are important
EMPOWER: to remind someone of their strength and their ability to make choices and create change
SHINE: to share a hopeful attitude and ideas with others
We have some fun activities planned for Thursday, including kicking off the day with an outdoor performance by our ADL Rock Band!
8th Grade Promotion Celebration:
8th Grade parents and families should be on the lookout for email updates this Friday with reminders about the 8th grade promotion celebration planned for Monday, June 14th!
