Week of December 8-12

 
Mardi Gras
 

Bonjour Charlemagne Families!

This December, as we celebrate Kindness Month, we want to shine a bright light on the incredible work our teachers and staff do every single day.

It's easy to see the academic lessons happening in the classroom, but our educators do so much more. They are emotional anchors and behavioral guides, supporting students through every challenge, every victory, and every "up and down" of the school day. They create a nurturing environment where students feel safe to learn and grow, not just in math and reading, but in life.

What often goes unseen is the demanding emotional and mental energy required to maintain this level of support, all while navigating their own day. Our staff shows up 100% committed to ensuring every student feels heard, supported, and valued.

On behalf of our students, thank you. Let's make sure we show extra appreciation and kindness to these dedicated individuals who work so hard to make our school a supportive and wonderful place to be!

En gratitude,

Poppy
