We are ready to kick off our Thanksgiving Food Drive! Look for a flier coming home Thursday or Friday with details about this project. It is our first service project of the year, and is a real-life application of our character words for November and December, which are generosity, kindness, and compassion. One of the great things about having such a large school is that we can make a huge difference in our community when some of us give something fairly small to a cause like this! If you would like to contribute, you might involve your children in choosing the item you donate to make it an even more personal learning opportunity. We'll be collecting through Friday November 6th and are focusing on dry pantry items like corn muffin mix, rice, pasta, oatmeal, boxes of instant mashed potatoes, etc. Thank you for anything your family decides to share!
I have gotten a bit of great feedback on Bucket-Filling Week (thank you to those parents!), and I would love to hear from anyone else who has an opinion. Specifically, was it a meaningful learning opportunity for your children, and did you feel like it was a worthwhile character education experience? Your feedback will help me reflect on this year and plan for next year, so I can make sure our counseling program is meeting the needs of our families. If you have any input, feel free to email me, post a comment to this blog, or send me a note. If you want to keep things simple, just look for the poll on the right side of this blog page and click on your answer! Thank you very much!
