“Too often we
underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an
honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the
potential to turn a life around.”
~Leo Buscaglia
Welcome to the final day of Pillar Week! It has been a truly enjoyable week with the
Lower School students. It was great to
be able to speak to them each morning about the Pillar of the Day and talk
about how our dress for the day represented it.
Today, students were given the opportunity to demonstrate their own
knowledge and understanding of the Pillars.
Students were each given a Pillar sticker to give to another student on
their own (if they saw a student demonstrating one of the Eagle Ridge Academy
Pillars). It was an opportunity for us
to see where the students fall in their abilities to understand the Pillars and
recognize those qualities in others. It
also went with our theme of the day of kindness and giving to others. Remember to ask your children why they received a Pillar sticker when you see them come home with one. Making that home/school connection really cements the importance of our Pillars.
Mr. Anderson has been busy sharing artwork in the Lower
School. He has changed our Lower School
Office display to include 2nd Grade Printmaking. He also added a display in the hallway just
outside the Lower School Office. Here we
have some Kindergarten artwork based on a book they read called The Dot. Enjoy the pictures below or stop in for an up
close and personal visit with some of the art our Lower School students are
creating.
3rd grade students have been studying the bones
in the human body in science class. Some
of their skeletons are “hanging around” in the hallway outside Mrs. Rau’s
classroom.
Just a reminder that the PTO Gala for Our Pillars in on
Saturday, February 22nd at Olympic Hills Golf Club. I look forward to seeing many of you there
for a fun, festive evening!
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Baier
