Wow it's February already. Thank you for making January great. As February is a month for love, we will be focusing on kindness for the next 28 days. One of our greatest hopes is that our students will be kind to others. But let's face it. It's not always easy. The good news is that kindness is a behavior that can be learned. Most children learn new behaviors by copying those around them; we have a powerful opportunity and responsibility to teach kindness by example. Let's work together to teach and model kindness for each other this month.
One idea is to become kindness secret agents. As a family, make a list of 25 random acts of kindness you can accomplish this month. Become kindness secret agents and complete as many of these acts of kindness as you can before the end of February. Each night share as a family which ones you accomplished that day and the reactions you received from others. You can read about this idea and others in this month's Capturing Kids' Hearts newsletter.
It's a shame the Buffalo Bills didn't make it to the Super Bowl this weekend, but we are celebrating anyway. Students and staff should show support for their favorite NFL team by wearing their jersey, or other team apparel, on Wednesday and Thursday.
With the approach of Valentine's Day, it may be tempting to send your student something at school. Students are not to receive deliveries at school. Deliveries are disruptive to the learning environment. Anything that is delivered to school will be held until the end of day and we will do our best to get it to students before they go home. Students should also not be ordering lunch deliveries as they often do not arrive during their lunch. Deliveries attempted when students are not available will be turned away.
