Our Character Trait for November is
Optimism

Dear Families and Students,
We have had a very successful conference week this week! Thank you to all the family members who made the commitment to spend some very important time discussing school with their children’s teachers. Communication and consistency between school and home are some of the most important ways to help your kiddo succeed. Thanks again for coming. And if you haven’t gone to your conference yet, or had to miss it? No worries, we will reschedule and make time for you.
Books and Blankets is coming up next Tuesday (11/05) at 6pm in our gym. This is a great time for families to unplug and spend some quality reading time together, along with other activities and a snack. Last fall we had 123 folks attend—this year I hope we can beat that number! And, everybody who attends will go home with a book.
I hope that part of your family routine involves at least 20 minutes of reading together each day. Kids who read 20 minutes per day will end up reading almost 2 million words per year! That is great for their reading and comprehension skills, and just makes for stronger brain skills overall. And that helps in everything, from school to sports to chores and everything else.
Kind regards,
Nathan Coutsoubos, Principal
