Husky Happenings

Happy Friday!!

We have been so busy here at Graham with all of our end of the year activities!!! We have a couple of concerts this week for Kindergarten and First Grade. We also have a half day on Friday due to the Memorial Holiday weekend. School will dismiss at 12:20 pm on Friday, May 24th. There will also be NO SCHOOL on Monday, May 27th for the actual holiday. We will be celebrating our 5th graders on June 4th at a ceremony in our gym at 2:00pm. Please mark these dates on your calendar so you don't forget!!!

The month of May is always a time when things escalate at school. Students are excited for summer break but sometimes can be anxious about it too. Behaviors start to show out at recess and sometimes in the classroom. We remind students about keeping their hands to themselves (BE SAFE) throughout the day but it always helps if you can reinforce that at home as well. We want everyone to finish off the school year on a positive note!

Next week in the Positivity Project we will be focusing on the trait of Leadership. Leadership means you value each member of your group and inspire people to do their best! Please take a minute to read through the explanation of this trait and discuss it with your family. Sometimes it helps to give them examples of how this trait fits into your own life.

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 Class DOJO to see if I am available to meet with you.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Sheppard

Principal
