Snack Menu
Our “Wellness” curriculum component is using the following website at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/kids/ to ensure the nutrition of our students. Please look for our snack menu please let us know if you have any suggestions for our snack menu or would like recipes for home use.

School Caterers
Just a reminder that our school caterer is still not delivering meals to our school. We will let you know when this changes.

Celebrations
Celebrations help our students meet our learning component in “Community and Environment”. If you would like to share a family tradition with our students, please let us know. Embracing diversity is a social skill that will help our students in the long run when traveling or building friendships.
Last month our students celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Our Prek students in Mrs. Happy’s class did an activity that helped our students understand that it doesn’t matter what color we are, we can still be friends. Mrs. Happy had the students choose their favorite color and they drew their hands onto the paper. She allowed them to choose a shape or they could cut out their handprint. They put them all together on the world. Mrs. Happy then asked them that if she was red, blue, pink, green, orange, or black would they still want to be her friend. All the students replied “Yes”. She went on to explain that no matter what color we are, we can still be friends.



February is Black History Month
We are very excited to have our students be a part of Black History Month. Throughout the month of February students will be doing different activities that teach them to accept people regardless of the color of their skin. It’s important to start teaching students early to accept all of their peers regardless of outward appearance. We are so excited to introduce our students to the stories of Black Civil Rights Activists, Poets, Abolitionists, Authors, Physicians, Singer, Songwriters, Politicians, Mathematicians, Physicists, Novelists, Playwrights, Producers, Comedians, Athletes, Artists, and so much more. Click here to learn about some of the most influential Black Americans in our United States History.
For a community project, we are making a multicultural paper quilt of black and white photos. If you have any family photos, if you can please email them to me. We will print them black and white. Our students will be creating the frames for our multicultural paper quilt.




Valentine’s Day Party/Lunar New Year Party
This year Valentine’s Day and The Lunar New Year fall on the same party day for our school. We would like to combine both celebrations together. Please wear anything red, white, or gold. Students can bring their Valentine Cards earlier in month so they can fill them out at school. The school will provide snacks that reflect both celebrations along with activities to celebrate.
We regret due to Covid that we will not be having the dragon dancers this year.


Operation Christmas Child -We packed 80 gift boxes for 80 friends!
Every year our students talk about hunger and basic needs awareness. Our students collect basic needs items such as socks, shoes, clothing, toys, educational supplies, and etc. for a child in the same age group as themselves. They sorted all the items during a “Packing Party” and pack enough to fill a shoebox for their international friends overseas. This year due to Covid 19, our students added a virtual component and students were able to go online and pack 31 boxes virtually! Our students packed 29 giftboxes here on campus and they collaborated with the community to donate another 20 boxes. We packed 80 giftboxes for 80 friends. Though we didn’t do the total we had last year with 48 students, we collected 80 giftboxes with 12 students. We felt very successful.
