BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT and SHOE DRIVE

Thursday night is Back to School Night; click on the title to pull up the schedule for different grade levels.  We hope to see everyone there!
 
We had an AMAZING assembly today with Brian Williams of Think Kindness!  Brian has challenged us to do 5000 small acts of kindness over the next three weeks as a way to change the world!  Classes will be documenting acts of kindness on paper chains.  We will combine all the class chains together at the end of the challenge to create a visual representation of all our kind deeds! 
 
We are also collecting SNEAKERS for children in Kenya who are denied an education because they don't have shoes to wear to school.  This is a wonderful service project that not only helps other children, but it raises our own awareness of how lucky we are to have access to an education, regardless of our circumstances. 
 
You can send in gently used or new sneakers with your child starting tomorrow.  We will be collecting them in the classrooms and Brian will return on September 17th to collect them.  Thank you for participating in our GREAT SHOE CHALLENGE!
