The Great Kindness Challenge
We are so excited to be celebrating The Great Kindness Challenge this week. All week we will be reviewing reasons why and ways to show kindness to others. A few things for you to take note...
1) On MONDAY, students will be bringing home a Kindness Challenge sheet. If students complete the challenges and return it to school by the due date (note it must be signed by a parent), then he/she will earn a spirit stick!
2) Students will be receiving Kindness T-Shirts again this year. These will be passed out on FRIDAY and kids will be asked to just slip them on over their clothes.

Update from PE Class from Mr. Markrich
Hello SLE Families!
I am really enjoying teaching PE to the SLE students! I hope they are enjoying it as much as I am! The goal of physical education is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. Simply put, I want the students to have fun, learn new activities and skills, and create a safe and inviting environment that will encourage them to remain active for life.
In order to accomplish this goal, students must dress appropriately for PE. I have noticed an increase in students wearing shoes that can not safely be worn in the gym. Boots, dress shoes, anything other than tennis shoes, are likely to result in injury from slipping or a classmate getting stepped on. The last thing I want do is have a student sitting out watching his or her class play a game. Please remember to check the specials calendar to make sure they have the proper shoes for gym days.
Thank you!
Rick Markich
