Something for Everyone

We have had a wonderfully quiet week filled with a variety of activities. There were things for parents, teachers, and students: something for everyone! Our Professional Development day was a presentation by the Marcus Autism Center as we begin to partner with them and the services they can offer us. We have held a severe weather drill, the regional One-Act play competition, Father's Night, our Parent University held a workshop on Emotional Regulation, there were auditions for the spring musical, and basketball! Next week will prove to be just as active as this week was. 

 

I know that Be Kind Week is behind us, but I wanted to share these two photos. Counselors LaToyia Armstead (left) and Brandi Smallwood (right) are holding the Kindness Links that the students created. Each link on those two chains is either a kind thought or deed. There are so many and YOUR kids came up with them, and did them. A little random act of kindness can turn someone's day around. If the kids can do it, we can do it too! 

 

I hope you have had a terrific week and an equally as fabulous weekend.
