November Newsletter
October was filled with Kindness to Others and learning about safety!
We learned about safety during Fire Prevention Week. Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department brought one of the fire trucks and shared fire safety with our students. During Red Ribbon Week, our students learned to "Just Say No to Drugs".
Our Raise Craze fundraiser was a huge success! We exceeded our goal and shined bright with our Acts of Kindness. We performed and documented over 500 Acts of Kindness towards our families, friends and community. What better way to highlight the kindness and generosity of our donors. We cannot thank you enough.
As always, please contact our school office with any questions or concerns. 830-278-1350.
Veterans Day Program
Our students will be performing one song/poem/presentation to honor all veterans on Veterans Day. Our program will be held at 8:30 on November 11, 2024 in Briscoe Hall. Parents are invited to attend.
We would like to invite any Veterans of our students that would be able to attend our program. If they cannot attend in person, you could send a picture of your Veteran. If your student is inviting someone, please contact their teacher and/or the School office. We want to make sure we recognize all veterans in attendance.
