1) As I have done for the last few years during the holidays I have made a donation to the Deschutes Children’s Foundations on behalf of the Amity staff. Want to know more about the work the foundation does? https:\/\/www.deschuteschildrensfoundation.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Staff Appreciation Breakfast<\/strong> on Tuesday at 7:15. Hosted by district administration. Come hungry!
5) Staff meeting<\/strong> on Tuesday at 3pm. Let’s meet in Sara’s room.
6) SIW<\/strong> this week is teacher directed. Please discuss with each other how you’d like to use the time.
7) Please continue to think about End of Year Celebrations<\/strong>. We’ve agreed we want to try something new this year and I think it’s important to keep the conversation open and continuous. I will be sending you a copy of the Amity manifesto in a separate email.
8) PE\/Music and Art <\/strong>continue as usual this week.
9) Any Friday theme ideas? Wild hat day?
10) After the break we honor Martin Luther King, Jr<\/strong> on January 20 (his birthday is on Jan 15) this year. \u00a0I am hoping that you will spend some time honoring MLK with your classes–I think it is really important to keep the memory of King alive and to share his message of love and courage each and every year. \u00a0If you are looking for ideas here are a few (of many!) links:
