Monday Ducks Update
Monday Ducks Update
January 29, 2024
Note from Ms. de Boom-Howard
Happy Monday!
What a beautiful weekend! I hope you and your family were able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. My kids and I spent time shooting hoops in the yard Saturday and then on Sunday we spent the day watching football. What a great two games! I have to say my house is divided between my kiddos, my daughter is a Cheifs fan due to Taylor Swift, and my son is a 49ers fan as we love Purdy. It is going to be fun watching the Super Bowl together in a few weeks!
It is going to be a fun week ahead getting ready for the Duck Dash!! The team from Booster is here getting our students excited with visits to the classroom and handing out prizes. We know there is a possibility of rain on Friday, please look for an updated plan B on Wednesday.
This week we are focusing on the CORE value of βTake responsibility for everything you do.β Students will be talking in class about what this looks like in the classroom, playground, and around campus. We invite you to also talk about this at home.
I hope to see you at Skate Night on Wednesday, Jan 31st from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Fountain Valley Skating Center.
Have a great week!!
Go Ducks!
