Perseverance

We spurn despair and strive to complete tasks to the best of our abilities, regardless of the difficulty. We respond creatively to overcome obstacles and ask for help when necessary.

Quote of the Week

“So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed!) Kid, you’ll move mountains!”

~Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go

On Thanks, Celebration, Ending a Chapter, and saying, "See you next year!"




Dear Students and Parents,

Can you believe the second quarter has come to an end?! I’ve certainly enjoyed every minute of learning and growing with your children. Thank you very much for your generous and thoughtful holiday cards and gifts today! I can't thank you enough for your generosity with the Amazon gift cards; please know that every staff member is beyond thankful for these gifts!

It was wonderful seeing the kids enjoy some healthy and enjoyable competition during our Chess tournament today. Congratulations to all of the students for their perseverance and strategic gameplay! We are so grateful for all of you who volunteered and donated items to make the celebration happen. We were spoiled (as always) with many tasty treats; we are so thankful for you. :)

I hope you and your families have an enjoyable holiday and restful winter break. Safe travels to those of you heading out of town, and to those of you staying here, please soak up the sun for the rest of us! :)

Students: Don't forget about the winter research project! Also be sure to read, read, read every chance you get! See you in 2013!

Yours in holiday cheer,

Miss Pantalena
