Pierce School Weekly Newsletter

This will be our 3rd week of Crotched Mtn. Ski/Snowboarding on Thursday, January 23rd. Kids looked like they were having a great time last Thursday night, and I was able to see some students in action while I skied at the mountain too! The temps this week are going to dip, so make sure to dress in layers!

Reminder: Gear can be left outside against the building if students are carpooling with another adult to the mountain. If students are carpooling, please notify the school by Pickup Patrol, or call the office before 2pm. Students will be dismissed from school at 3pm to go to the mountain to arrive in time for lessons.

Thank you again, Melinda Adams, for facilitating our Ski Club this year! Have a great third week out on the mountain and enjoy the trails! 🎿🏂

The Golden Spoon luncheon began this week for students who demonstrated expectated behaviors in the lunchroom from Monday to Thursday. Students are invited to a special lunch on the stage on Friday and receive a golden spoon as the invitation, for doing the right thing at lunch through the week.

Expected behaviors in the lunchroom:

• Raise their hands to get up and get something
• Ask a teacher by raising a hand to go to the bathroom/leave the lunchroom
• Keep a low level voice, no yelling
• When a teacher says, "Show 5", students stop talking, focus attention on the teacher, and put a high five in the air to show they are listening to directions
• Sit at the table to eat lunch and have a safe body at the table

These are the expected behaviors that will earn students a golden spoon invitation to a decorated table on the stage on Fridays. A different teacher will sign up to host the luncheon each Friday. We hope all students will attend the Golden Spoon Luncheon!
