Wow! I can't remember the last time I saw snow before Christmas. I hope everyone is home warm and safe. I love snow days on the weekend. I am fortunate enough that I don't have to work on the weekends, so that means I can enjoy the day with the kiddos. Snow ball fights, sledding, pancakes, and hot cocoa. So many special family traditions for snow days.
I hope you can stay home today and enjoy the snow with your children! If you do have to work today, please be careful and stay safe!
Have a great week!

The Positivity Project (P2): Humility/Modesty
This week in P2, students will be learning about humility/modesty.
What it Means
You do not seek the spotlight. You let your actions speak for themselves.
Why It Matters
Developing humility is associated with positive developmental outcomes in individuals. It allows a person to honestly reflect on their abilities and acknowledge how and where they can improve. Humility opens them up to new ideas, advice, and (consequently) abilities that pride, arrogance, or pretentiousness often block. Therefore, humility makes them desired members of a team.
Tuesday: Short PTA Meeting Followed by Cougar Chorus Concert

Do You Know Someone Who'd Like to Receive These Emails?
I started these emails a couple of years ago as 1) a way to get myself straight about what is coming up for the week 2) sharing that information with other Swifty families.
I know not everyone is receiving these emails.
Grade parents are encouraged to share these emails with their classes.
If YOU know someone who would like to receive this information, please tell them to contact me at [email protected]. I don't want to spam folks, but I am happy to share this information with anyone. These emails are also posted weekly on the PTA website.
