Husky Happenings

Dear Graham Families,

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather we are having. I love seeing the sun and blue skies! The first day of spring is next week so hopefully we will continue to see an increase in our temperatures. This is our last week of school before Spring Break. We will be off the entire week of March 24th-28th. When we return from break, students will go back to lining up outside of their classroom doors again. We will still have adults over in the parking lot area to help with drop off but students will not be lining up in the cafeteria for the rest of the school year.

We are still enjoying our Reading Month activities throughout the rest of March! I hope you have been reading at home as well. Reading with young children is so important for their cognitive, emotional, and social development. It helps to build vocabulary, language skills, and comprehension all while creating a love for books and learning! This goes right along with our Positivity Project character strength! By having reading be part of your child's regular routine, you can help instill lifelong learning habits that benefit them in so many ways.

This week in the Positivity Project we will discuss the character strength Love of Learning. Love of Learning means enjoying the process of learning new things whether it be in school or on your own. Please read the letter and talk about this trait with your family during the week to reinforce what we are talking about in school.

Please feel free to email or DOJO me with questions you might have and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Sheppard

Principal
