Dear families,
This upcoming week is Anti-Bullying Week! As an early childhood campus, our goal is to support the whole-child development. This week, we are intentionally working with our little bison on how to show kindness to others. Join us in highlighting kind acts by emphasizing polite conversation and small acts of service. An act of kindness can be as small as giving a smile, inviting a friend to play at recess or helping a friend pick up something that has fallen down. Together, we can help our bison develop the skills they need to collaborate with others.
The past few weeks, Ms. Pablo and I have spent a lot of time in classrooms and it has been so much fun to see our Bison thinking and growing. As I walked our campus throughout this week, I felt genuinely inspired by our students and the work that our staff is leading. The education that our teachers provide for students gives them the voice and choice to explore issues that are close to their hearts. I’ve seen evidence of student thinking in every class; I’ve watched students engage in academic conversations and challenge each other’s ideas; I’ve seen students struggle to make sense of complex content and demonstrate the grit to keep at it until it made sense to them. The work that our teachers are leading gives our students the power and purpose to advocate for causes that they feel passionately about and I’m excited to continue hearing their diverse perspectives in class.
