Principal Weekly Update to Families

PEACEBUILDERS PLEDGE

During the month of September, students began reciting the PeaceBuilders pledge, along with the Pledge of Allegiance, as part of the morning announcements with Mrs.Harrison. Teachers and staff have been introducing and discussing the principles of the PeaceBuilders pledge with students and we encourage families to continue these conversations at home over the course of the school year!

The Peacebuilders program is a part of our integrated SEL curriculum and helps promote empathetic and respectful behavior among our school community. For more information on the PeaceBuilders program, you can visit www.peacebuilders.com).

** Throughout the year, we encourage all students and staff to wear their PeaceBuilders T-shirts on Fridays to show their school spirit!!**

PeaceBuilder t-shirt order forms will be sent home within the next week or two

We are excited to share that this week, our school had a special visit from Officer Val and her amazing partner, Police Dog Oliver! It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn about the important role of police dogs in our community.

Here’s what happened:

• Meet and Greet: Students had the chance to meet Officer Val and Police Dog Oliver up close. They learned about Oliver’s training, duties, and how he contributes to keeping our community safe.

• Interactive Demonstrations: Officer Val demonstrated some of Oliver’s skills and training, showcasing how he performs his duties and helps with tasks such as search and rescue.

• Educational Insights: The visit included a discussion on the role of police dogs, the bond between them and their handlers, and how they support public safety.

• Q&A Session: Students had the opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the day-to-day life of a police officer and their canine partner.

The visit was both educational and inspiring, helping our students appreciate the value of teamwork and the crucial work done by our local police force.

Thank you for encouraging your child to participate and engage in this memorable experience!
