All the month of April students in grades K-5 will explore careers.

Students in grade K-2  will have classroom lessons on career awareness and exploration discussing what careers need what education, tools and special uniforms.

Students in grades 3-5 will explore career interests through the website www.vaview.org and find out what careers best fit their interests.

CAREER DAY is Friday, April 7th.  Students may dress up as the job they would like to have one day as well as answer trivia questions about a career each day on the morning announcements.

This month we are going to celebrate friends with classroom lessons about friendship,  morning announcements about friendship and students will participate in a school wide month of making new friends and keeping old friends.

No Name-Calling Week is March 13-17

I am challenging students not to call anyone a name for the entire week.  In each hallway at school, there will be a sheet of paper for students to write all the good names they like to be called.  Could be their first name, middle name, or nickname and also names of encouragement like “beautiful” or “sweetie”.  There will also be an essay contest during No Name-Calling Week.  Students (who want to participate) may write a quick sentence or sentences on why it’s important not to call anyone names.  A winner in grades K-2 and 3-5 will be announced at the end of the week.  Good luck to all those who want to participate!  It’s going to be a fun week!  Challenge your child at home as well. 🙂
