Husky Happenings

Message from Mrs. Sheppard
Happy Friday!
MSTEP testing is in full swing. We will continue next week as well. I am so proud of our students and the effort that they are giving! Thank you to our families that have been making sure the students are on time every morning. It makes a huge difference when students test with their class.
We extended our March Madness attendance competition into April. The students are really getting into it and on Friday afternoons I announce the winner for the week. It is so fun to hear the screams errupt from that grade level at the end of the day. Attendance at school each day is very important. If you are struggling to get your child to school each day, or they are giving you a hard time about coming to school, please reach out to me or our social worker Ms. Salazar so we can sit down with your child and help them. We need our students here every day!
Next week in the Positivity Project we will talk about Humor. Humor means you like to laugh and bring smiles to other people. This is one of my favorite traits! I LOVE to laugh and be funny. It's definitely good for the soul. Please read the parent letter to go along with this trait and see if you can find ways to work them into your daily conversations with your child. It also helps to give them scenarios when they might have to use this trait.
Please be sure to read through this newsletter carefully so that you are aware of things happening at Graham. Please know that you can always reach me by email or CLASSDOJO if you have any concerns or questions or you can call me during school hours. If you would like to meet with me, I would ask that you please make an appointment with my secretary, Mrs. Harper. You can also email me or send me a message on snap connect to see if I am available to meet with you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Sheppard

All of our classes have signed up to sponsor a "GIFT BASKET" for our Spring Fun Fair. Please consider donating an item or sending in cash to purchase an item according to the theme of your child's classroom. We are also looking for parents that would be willing to put the basket together. You can talk to your child's teacher. Here is the list for the basket themes for each teacher. If you have items at home that are new and go with another basket and would like to donate them, please feel free to bring them into the office and we will get them to that teacher to add to their basket. We want to make these baskets amazing!!!! We need everyone's help to do that. Thank you!!!!
