November is a great month to be thankful. So let me first thank you for participating in our parent teacher conference week. During the week, 96% of our families had conferences and we have a few others scheduled beyond this week. We are so grateful for your commitment to your child’s education. Parent and family involvement in a child’s education is the number one factor in a student’s academic achievement.
On November 10th we will have our annual Veteran’s Day Assembly. Our students and staff will honor those who have served our country through song, a moment of silence, and a read-ing of a student essay. Mr. Ainley, our music teacher, will lead our students in singing, “The Star Spangled Banner”, “Grand Old Flag”, “America the Beautiful”, “America”, and “God Bless America”. It is powerful to have all the service members in attendance stand as our students sing to them. We anticipate a great turn out of community members and families in attendance.
For the month of November, we are focusing on gratitude as our Wolf Pride character trait.
We encourage you to join with us in teaching students to importance of showing gratitude. Gratitude is the appreciation for the benefits we receive from others and the desire to recip-rocate. Consider asking your children the fol-lowing questions: What are you grateful for today? How can you show appreciation for others?
As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of how much we have to be thankful for at Wood-burn: our freedom, our teachers & staff, our families, and our 484 wolves. We are thankful for our wonderful volunteers who help out in so many ways to create rich learning experi-ences for kids. We are thankful for our PAWS group who organize fun events and help to celebrate our students. We are fortunate to live in a community where we enjoy the sup-port of our parents, businesses, and communi-ty members. You all help to make Woodburn a great school.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me 833-5860 ext. 78221 or email me at [email protected].
Make every day count!
