Teddies and Traits

Somewhere amid all the recent events it became a new month with new character traits! The words for May are Honesty and Trustworthiness. We will be celebrating them here at school with books and discussions. Please feel free to highlight them at home too if you would like to! Thank you for all your support of our character education initiatives.

Our Teddy Bear Drive is going amazingly! You have really answered the call for stuffed animals for children affected by the tornado, and we appreciate it. Our staff stopped counting after we'd collected 500 animals, but they are still pouring in so who knows what the total would be now! Two of our teachers, Laura Miller and Jana Henry, and our bookkeeper Lisa Moore delivered just some of the teddy bears to the students of Holt Elementary yesterday. Here are a few of their photos from the drive so far and the introduction of students to their new stuffed animal friends yesterday. Please feel free to keep sending in bears and other stuffed animals- as long as they keep coming in, we will keep delivering them to those in need of a huggable friend!

Thank you for reading! We are glad you are here!
