Love and Logic Parenting Tip
Notice the Small Wins- Purpose is built over time, through small steps and daily actions. Let your child know that you recognize their progress, no matter how small. Acknowledge their effort, growth, and the positive impact they’re making. Encouragement and appropriate recognition for small wins helps kids stay motivated. It shows them that the purpose is about the journey, not just the destination. It helps them see that they’re on the right path, even when the road gets tough.
Donations
Donations Needed: Please drop off all donations at the front office. We appreciate you!
Our Art classes are looking for old magazine donations as students begin to work on collages in class. Please drop them off at the front office.
We are always looking for gift card donations of $5 gift cards to support our Be RED card Friday Drawings. Students love Fika, McDonalds, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Berry Blendz, Swirls, Target, and Five Below gift cards.
In an effort to show our appreciation for our outstanding staff, we are launching an initiative to provide them with tokens of gratitude throughout the year. These tokens, though small, carry a significant impact in letting our staff know that their hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed.To achieve this, we have created an Amazon Wish List filled with a variety of small thank-you gifts that our staff members would greatly appreciate. These gifts will be given out as tokens of appreciation to those who consistently go the extra mile for our students.
The Be RED store is up and running! We are employing 8th grade students to help run the store this year. It has been awesome to see their interactions with younger students and their hard work.
We are always looking for continued donations as our inventory gets pretty low; the best sellers are Air Heads, packs of gum, mini Gatorades, and lunch-sized bags of chips/ pringles/ goldfish/ etc!!
Feel free to search on this Amazon wish list but you can always go off board too! Ask your student for ideas on items they would like to see in the store! Thank you!
