Lower School Update - November 4, 2019

Kindness

The Core Value we are focusing on for November and December is kindness. Here is a video to help get the conversation started at home. We will celebrate Kindness Week starting on November 11 with a range of activities. Please encourage your child to perform “random acts of kindness!”

Thanksgiving Celebration

Please join us on Saturday, November 9 for our Annual Thanksgiving event. Lots of fun activities will take place from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.  

Eagle’s Nest

As you know, we have been announcing shoutouts and Golden G during our weekly Eagle’s Nest. The Lower School has decided to move shoutouts into the classroom in order to recognize the core values in an authentic, meaningful and timely way. In addition, any “above and beyond” behaviors will be recognized in the Eagle’s Nest. We know that this change will give more effective feedback to students and help inspire our whole community.

News from the Library

We had a truly joy-filled, inspirational week with Peter H. Reynolds. He worked with students and parents to tap into their creativity. The expressions on the children's (and adult's) faces really say it all. Please click here to enjoy the pictures from his amazing visit. Remember to "Make Your Mark!"
