One kind word
can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb
Welcome to
2013! It is a new year and with each
year comes hopes, promises, and aspirations for the future. I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break
and is ready to start anew!
Thank you to all
of the parent volunteers for organizing and facilitating delightful winter
parties on the last day of school before break.
I know they were appreciated by students and teachers alike. I visited each party and was impressed by the activities the students were doing. Students were having fun in a structured, well-mannered way and this is greatly appreciated! Below are a few pictures from some of the
parties.
We also had
multiple groups of Latin Carolers singing to us in the Lower School
office. They did each did a rousing rendition
of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in Latin, of course. Here are a couple of group pictures.
As you know, we
are at a time of year when weather may prevent us from partaking in outdoor
recess each day. The PTO recess
committee has been kind enough to create indoor recess carts that can be used
on those days when we must stay inside due to temperature or other weather
events. Thank you to Ann Watanabe,
Caroline Nelson, and Krystel Barber for spearheading this effort. I know each family received a flyer prior to
break describing the project and asking for any donations you may have. They do not need to necessarily be new games.
If you have unused board games around the house taking up space you might
consider doing a bit of winter purging and send them to the Lower School
office. We will make sure they are put
to good use.
If anyone has
any old picture dictionaries your student has outgrown, we would love to have
it at school. I am putting together a
group of picture dictionaries to be used with students who are still English
Language Learners. Just drop them off in
the Lower School Office.
Have a fantastic
week!
Mrs. Baier
