Supply Drive Time!

Hi All! It’s Supply Drive Time!

We will hold a SUPPLY DRIVE to stock up our little red school. We all appreciate how much time, energy, and resources everyone puts in to make our school such a special place! A big continued thank you.

Here are the details:

-Sign up sheet will be posted on the kitchen door.
-Please sign up for 2 ROWS (some are $20 so if you want to stay at $20 cap, 1 row is fine) and buy the amount specified in each row. I added some notes to help guide you. This should put you in the $15-20 range for all items. (The range is flexible)
-Bring in your items the week of Nov 26-30 (week after break)
-Sign off when you deliver and put your items away (check in with someone working to find space in the kitchen, pantry, closet)
-All items should be family size/economy size.
-If you do not sign up by Friday, November 16th- I will assign you items and email you over break.

Thank you!

“Your Rules are Dumb”

Don’t forget to join us tonight at Pioneer Presbyterian Church for a Presentation of “Your Rules are Dumb” by author and educator, Rebecah Freeling.

“When you can teach your child/student alternative, more productive behavior while also genuinely appreciating his/her bad behavior as the strength is represents, your child/student gets to experience the changes you want him/her to make as a movement toward greater capacity instead of a movement away from some deficiency.”

Create a Sidewalk Chalk Obstacle Course

School is winding down for everyone and our kids are getting even more antsy in anticipation for summer vacation. You don’t need to buy a lot of fancy things to keep them active outside. Sidewalk chalk and a little inspiration can help your family to create a chalk obstacle course outside. Switch it up often to keep things fun and fresh! Get the details here.
