Before I write anything, I have to acknowledge the shocking loss of Kobe Bryant today. An unbelievable tragedy that offers an opportunity for reflection. We all know that life is precious and can end at any moment. It does not matter who you are or what you have done. It reminds me to bring my best to everything I do and quite frankly, I need to step it up! Please read this article about Kobe's work ethic. He was truly one of my heroes. 

KOBE BRYANT-WORK ETHIC

There is a lot of information in this blog. Please ready carefully. 

Look forward to seeing all of you and our students dressed up for 100 days tomorrow. 

Wednesday is 80's Day! Parents who buy a ticket on this day get a raffle ticket to be entered to win a gas grill. I have seen many of your share that in your emails to parents. Thank you! 

Incoming Parent Night is this Thursday, Jan. 30, at 6pm. 
Please take a look at your grade level slide and make changes, as needed. We just need one representative from each grade level to attend and talk about grade level activities. Kinder, as you are the highlight for incoming parents, thank you for being there!

Global School Play Day is coming soon ~ February 5th.
Like last year, I am going to leave it up to you to choose what that looks like. It can be integrated into your centers or 30 min of dedicated play. Like I said, you choose and make it your own!

Field Day: We will not have field day on a Friday this year because Dan is not here. 
Please choose which day you think is best:
Monday, May 18 or Wednesday, May 20.
Please respond ASAP because our 5th Grade Sunsplash Trip may be affected. One response per grade level would be perfect!

Happy Sunday! I am writing this blog on Saturday because I need to focus on the big game! Therefore, I have no idea what the outcome will be. That being said, GO PACK GO!!!

Last week, our choir put on a wonderful performance. The students were so proud and talented. 

Our Red Ribbon Poster Winners were celebrated on Wednesday. Thank you to all of you for supporting our amazing students. Thank you to Casey for being the admin for the evening.

On Wednesday, Derk and the board will be touring campus. Please let me know if there is something happening in your classroom that you would like us to see. Regardless, be ready for a pop in. Sometimes he tells me what he wants to see. 

HELP NEEDED: We would like to have one teacher liaison for Betting On The Arts. Please let me know if you are interested. The commitment is minimal, it is just another source of communication between teachers and the committee. Also, provides the opportunity for teachers to share their opinions and preferences.
