International Peace Day
The International Day of Peace was on September 21, but as
it was a Saturday, we held our celebration on Monday, Sept. 23. It was a very
nice ceremony, with guests from all over our local community, including members
of the Rotary Club, the National Park Service, various branches of the US Armed
Forces, and the Global Community Alliance.
The children shared different ideas about peace, what it
means to them, and how they can make the world a more peaceful place. Then they
shared “Peace Rocks” that they decorated, as a reminder to keep peace in our
community.
We want to thank everyone who was a part of the ceremony
and everyone who helped provide shade for our students and guests by sharing
your easy-ups. You are very much appreciated!
Thank You!
Thank you to all the parents who
volunteered their time or resources this month, including those of you who
brought your “easy-ups.” We are very grateful!
If you didn’t get the chance to volunteer
this month, but are interested in helping, there are always opportunities! The
sign-up sheet for October will be up by Monday. Ms. Cori is also looking for a
parent (or parents) who might be willing to help catalog the school and
classroom libraries. If you are interested, please see Ms. Cori.
October Birthdays
There are quite a few birthdays coming up
in October! If your child is one of those with an upcoming birthday, and you
wish to celebrate here at school, please approach either Ms. Beth or Ms. Cori
as soon as possible to schedule the celebration.
Please remember to bring pictures and a
description of the milestones or experiences your child had at a particular
age. This can be something you and your child can work on together! If you wish
to bring a treat, please let us know ahead of time what you plan to bring.
Thank you!
