PBIS- Just another reminder from PBIS team that it’s never too early to review and remind students of our rules/expectations. Please be sure to do your rules rodeo and be handing out those Bronco bucks. We know that statistically and historically February is the highest month for oops slips. An ounce of prevention goes a long ways. Thanks for everything you are doing to be proactive as we enter potentially challenging times.
Student Leadership– Fifth grade student leaders have voted for the following spirit days:
January- Crazy Hair Day
February- Cozy/ PJ’s Day
March- Career Day
April- Book Character/ Reading Day
May- Decades Day
June- Western Day
The spirit committee has tabbed our spirit days, “Fun Day Fridays.” We will have these on the last Friday of each month. All other Fridays will be Bronco Days where we can wear blue or our Bronco gear. The spirit days committee will be promoting each day in a variety of ways.
Another team the students want to start is a Green Team. We think someone here has already connected with our district’s sustainability director. If you are that person, please connect with Jon so that we can coordinate our efforts. Thank you.
Drills- Thank you for your flexibility with the change from lockdown to earthquake drill. The good news is that we are done with lockdowns for the year and yesterday’s earthquake drill finished those for the year, which means we have removed the April earthquake drill from your drill calendar. For the remainder of the year we only need to have a fire drill once a month. Those are scheduled on the drill calendar.
MAC Training- MAC survey day is Monday. This is how our district funds the majority of our FAN services. Your participation in this one day survey allows us to provide much needed supports for our students and families. Thanks ahead of time for your help!
STEM- STEM team would like to thank you for everything you have done to clean the stage and organize the STEM room. Please make a final sweep to ensure that you have everything off the stage. In addition, please check the STEM room to organize your grade level supplies in the provided storage. Thank you from the STEM team.
In my haste to get notes out during my two-day week, I missed an opportunity to remind us all why we didn’t have to come to work on Monday. 58+ years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous I have a dream speech. Dr. King dreamed of a day that people would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Dr. King dreamed of a day when all would be united in brotherhood. He dreamed of a day when all would be free from oppression, discrimination and segregation. 58+ years after he delivered his revered speech, how are we doing? May we all remember the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., and do what we can to fulfill his dream. May he rest in peace.
