A Note from Our Principal
From apple and pumpkin-themed activities to leaf hunts and more, we’ve enjoyed all sorts of autumn fun and learning throughout October. This month, we will embark on a journey of fostering connections and celebrating family traditions as we nurture the spirit of Thanksgiving and togetherness. Our students will engage in activities that inspire gratitude and kindness by sharing personal experiences and learning about the importance of giving back to our community. One of my favorite books was written by Marlo Thomas and Friends – Thanks and Giving All Year! Like most of her books, it also has an accompanying soundtrack. We also would like everyone s to share pictures of the veterans in their family for a special display.
Thank you for entrusting us with the care and education of your children. We look forward to another month of joy and learning!
Sincerely,
Marlo Walston, Principal
Holiday Giving
‘Tis the season! Our annual Holiday Giving initiative is a way for students to spread cheer this holiday season while developing an appreciation for what they have, showing gratitude towards others, and seeing the positive impact of their actions. This year, by voting from our families, we will be working with an Angel Tree with the Guardian Ad Litem program of Wake County. This organization works with children and teens who are in the Wake County foster care system. It has been a wonderful way to help families in crisis and involved with the court system have a way to get new clothes and toys . More details to come via Links 2 Home. Thank you in advance for your partnership and generosity.
