November Update

Kindness Week

So many wonderful things happening this week to promote kindness and being a hero to someone everyday.   Today, kids watched a Kid President video (you can view it HERE) and the SLE staff dressed as their heroes.  Students were challenged to think about who their hero is -- who do they know that inspires kindness, doing their best and putting other's first?  Students will have the opportunity to dress as their hero and share with their classmates on Friday, November 20.   

Of course we are looking forward to the return of Basketball Jones on Thursday, November 19 -- and if your child ordered an SLE Superhero T-Shirt, he/she should wear it that day.

Did your child tell you about the super cool water bottle that was on their desk when they got to school today?

November Happenings

Veteran's Day at SLE

We are excited to honor our veterans this Wednesday.  Students will be putting together a wall of honor, beginning the day with a special assembly and many veterans will be joining us for lunch.  In addition, we will be honoring those who are currently serving with Operation Gratitude.  Students have been bringing in a small portion (sometimes a large portion!) of their Halloween candy to send to those currently serving in our armed forces.  The generosity of our students is awesome!   Donations can be turned in through Tuesday, November 10.
