Bobcat Strong Tracker

We have daylight savings starting on Sunday. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour. We are still looking for volunteers for our Parent Teacher Association. Without a proper PTA board, we won’t be able to support our students, teachers and community. We truly need your support.

For the month of March, the character trait we will be learning about and focusing on is Cooperation. Oftentimes we think this simply means that people are working “together”, but we want to push this definition even further and include having a shared goal or outcome. Learning is such a social endeavor and I am excited to see our students continue to build their capacity to work collaboratively.

Cooperation isn’t just something we teach our students—it’s something we practice as a school community every day. One of the best examples of this is the incredible work of our volunteers, especially our PTA. From organizing events and supporting teachers to enhancing school programs, our volunteers embody cooperation by working toward a shared goal: making our school the best it can be for all students.
