Dear Families,

First, don’t forget that Monday, September 7 is a holiday and there is NO SCHOOL for students or teachers. I hope you get to enjoy the extra time with family and friends doing something you enjoy!

Next, this week our school is embarking on a big journey of introducing our kiddos to The 7 Habits! You may recognize them from the book The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. These are great habits and principles that can used for kids and adults and will only set up our kiddos for lifelong success! We will send home some info about their upcoming lessons so you can discuss with your kiddos what they are learning! Have a great week!
