Weekly Update
Thanksgiving Edition
Parents,
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we just want to take time to thank you for all you do to make our school a great place to work and learn. Your ongoing support of our PTO and staff has allowed us to create a school environment that is nurturing and supportive of everyone. Each day we come to school, we feel an extreme amount of gratitude to come to work in a place where everyone supports each other and works together to meet the needs of our kids.
Your generous support of the PTO has allowed us to purchase new mats for the Gaga Ball Pit (which the kids love), new t-shirts with our school's core values on them and we are beginning the process of putting our sensory path together in one of our hallways.
What is a sensory path? A sensory path is an educational tool that supports children's development and cognitive function through physical activity and sensory stimulation. It provides a structured way for children to engage multiple senses through movement, which helps them develop motor skills, improve sensory integration, regulate sensory input, enhance learning, and promote overall well-being.
Without your ongoing support, we would not be able to provide tools, facilities and items to enhance our students' educational experiences. For this support and so much more, we are truly thankful!
We hope you and your family have a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday and look forward to seeing our students back at school on Monday, December 2.

Focus on Character
Compassion
We will focus on compassion when we return after Thanksgiving. We define compassion as showing Concern for others.
Below you will find a link to watch videos focusing on compassion. This compilation of heart-warming stories illustrates the different a little compassion makes for others. If you watched these last year, they may seem familiar. However, they are definitely worth another watch. If the link below doesn't work, please click "View in Browser" at the top of this email.
