With December comes cold weather and warm experiences! Yesterday we were so fortunate to have Chamber Music Amici and Instaballet perform for our school. The students enjoyed the performances very much and asked some wonderful questions about music, performing, practising a skill to perfection, etc. We are so thankful to Chamber Music Amici and Instaballet for providing us with this amazing experience! Thank you!

Additionally, I would like to thank all of the parents for attending our Parent Teacher Conferences and for signing up for Volunteer Opportunities. We could not do this work without you. Please see below for the PTO link if you are interested in learning more about Volunteer Opportunities at our school. Our Parent Volunteers support our classrooms, coordinate and participate in school wide events and so much more. 

With Humble Gratitude,

Poppy

We are noticing an uptick in late arrivals to school. Please remember that when the bell rings at 8:30 a.m., students are expected to be in their seats, ready to learn.

When students are late to class, they disrupt the morning for their peers and impact their teacher's ability to begin the instructional day on time.

Please plan to arrive early enough to allow your students to settle in and be prepared for the day before 8:30 a.m.

Thank you.

This month is Kindness month. Every day students are given a goal to show kindness to others. We hope to fill the arbre de gentillesse by the time we leave for Winter Holiday. Here are the week's "assignments":

Monday--Give a compliment to three people

Tuesday--Compassion: watch a video on compassion

Wednesday--Say "merci" to Jonathan our custodian

Thursday--Say "merci" to our cafeteria staff

Friday--Sit with someone whom you do not normally sit with at lunch.

The City of Eugene is exploring adding protected bike lanes to 24th Avenue from Amazon Path to Agate Street. Protected bike lanes would add more space and physical protection between people biking and people driving. This project would require removing the on-street parking between Hilyard Street and Agate Street.
