Husky Happenings
April 5th, 2024
Message from Mrs. Sheppard
Happy Friday and Opening Day!
Hopefully our Detroit Tigers will have a great season this year!!! They did great today so that's awesome!!
We will be starting our MSTEP testing for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders next week beginning on Tuesday. It is very important that students arrive to school ON TIME each day so that they can test with their class. Research shows that students who test with their class, perform much better than when they have to take the test at a later date. We also like to make sure that they have a good night sleep the night before. Monitoring phone use, social media, and tablet usage in the evening is important so that they can get a good nights sleep. I know our students are ready to ROCK that test this year!!
Next week in the Positivity Project we will talk about Fairness. Fairness means you believe that all people have value. You approach situations with an unbiased mindset and treat people with respect. Please read the parent letter to go along with this trait and see if you can find ways to work them into your daily conversations with your child. It also helps to give them scenarios when they might have to use this trait.
Please be sure to read through this newsletter carefully so that you are aware of things happening at Graham. Please know that you can always reach me by email or CLASSDOJO if you have any concerns or questions or you can call me during school hours. If you would like to meet with me, I would ask that you please make an appointment with my secretary, Mrs. Harper. You can also email me or send me a message on snap connect to see if I am available to meet with you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Sheppard

Please consider donating an item or sending in cash to purchase an item according to the theme of your child's classroom. We are also looking for parents that would be willing to put the basket together. You can talk to your child's teacher. Here is the list for the basket themes for each teacher. If you have items at home that are new and go with another basket and would like to donate them, please feel free to bring them into the office and we will get them to that teacher to add to their basket.
