Principal Update
Dear Families,
We look forward to seeing all families at our fall conferences over the next few days. Please pardon our mess in the hallways as we are installing new bathroom stall partitions in all of our bathrooms. We are more than excited for our new stalls!
Indian Hills students are excited as we start this year's Right Brain Initiative with Alex Addy. Students are learning the five hand techniques of Ghanaian drumming which students will learn to work together to create a strong communal rhythm. Alex Addy comes from a long line of drummers in the Addy family and is the son of Obo Addy. Students will have a chance to perform their Ghanaian drumming with West African rhythms on December 6th. Students in 4th-6th grade will perform from 8:30-9:30 and Kindergarten- 3rd grade's performance is at 1:00-2:00. Parents are always welcome to come see the performance.
Classrooms will be starting our Comprehensive Sexuality Education lessons (which are part of our state standards) this next month. At the bottom of this newsletter I have a parent letter that will explain more information if needed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's classroom teacher or our office staff.
In partnership,
Katie Thomas
Principal
