November’s value is GENEROSITY! “Making someone’s day by giving something away.” Students started learning all about our new CORE value during fun Friday last week.

This month we will also be talking about GRATITUDE because it goes hand-in-hand with generosity. “Live life with a generous and grateful heart!”

Be on the lookout for the Core Essentials newsletter for more info!

Please take a moment to fill out our Family survey. Your feedback is so important to us and completing the survey helps us to continue receiving funding.

November 13 – World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.

November 21 – National Children’s Grief Awareness Day

Children's Grief Awareness Day seeks to bring attention to the fact that often support can make all the difference in the life of a grieving child. It provides an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of the painful impact that the death of a loved one has in the life of a child, an opportunity to make sure that these children receive the support they need. This time of year is a particularly appropriate time to support grieving children because the holiday season is often an especially difficult time after a death.
