Fast Forward Into February

We officially kicked off the month of February last week with our annual Science Fair. The Science Fair is always a terrific opportunity for our students to apply the Scientific Method in a unique way to answer a question for which they must seek out answers to satisfy their own curiosity about the world around them. This year we had eighteen more projects than last year and we saw outstanding work from our young scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from all three grade levels. Congratulations to all of our students who had the courage, drive and commitment to participate in this year's Science Fair! 

Positivity Project

P2 continues to provide a steady and powerful framework to help us to strengthen relationships within our school community and make meaningful connections with our students. The last few weeks we focused on the character traits of PRUDENCE and SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. At home we encourage you to have a conversation with your child about PRUDENCE and SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE and think about the different ways that can demonstrate these traits as we go about our lives. To help you make connections here are the links to the Positivity Project Character Trait Card for PRUDENCE and Character Trait Card for SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. 

Students of the Month

Staying on the theme of positivity and celebrating those that carry themselves in a way that we can all be proud of, this week we recognized our new ‘Students of the Month’ for February. We continue to have students, who through their actions and character, help to create a positive school environment. Choosing ‘Students of the Month’ isn’t about grades and athletic or musical prowess, it’s about demonstrating all of the qualities that we value and celebrate - exemplary work ethic, citizenship, character, compassion, honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, optimism and/or leadership in creating a positive school environment. As a school community we are extremely grateful for students who day in and day out show up, work hard, do their best, and make our school a better place.

This month we recognized 6th graders Aiden Ruge, Calina Olson, Evan Perkins and Penelope Ruge; 7th graders Cooper Corcoran, Dillon Collier, Lamees Hussein and Kelly McManus; and 8th graders Conor Cook, Maria Girazov, Andrew Mauro and Elizabeth Quinn. Well deserved and congratulations to all!
