I cannot believe Monday is June 1st! We have lots to accomplish over the next month!
We'd like to draw your attention to a new link for Free the Children. Under the direction of Mrs. Adair, Mrs. Zappi, Ms. Shklar, Ms. Walker, Mrs. Olson and Ms. Moser, a group of interested students will be working with our student body to continue fundraising for this very important cause. We began this initiative last year, and we are looking forward to the work we will continue next year!
This month we asked the students what the character traits Integrity and Perseverance means to them. We will be acknowledging these on the announcements and on my blog. Here is what Tristan in grade 6 said Perseverance is...."it is doing something you don't want to do. You have to push yourself past your limits. You have to put forth a large amount of effort. Most importantly, you have to be yourself while you do it!". Well put Tristan! Claire in grade 6 says that integrity is...when a person is honest, and sincere...a person will always tell the truth, no matter what the consequences, and says everything with a good, straightforward attitude." Very insightful Claire!
