Parent and Family Weekly Update 

November 17-21 2025

 

This afternoon we gathered for our November Celebration, where our school community focused on this month’s PATH value: Peace. We enjoyed a shared reading of What Is Peace?, a thoughtful story that encouraged students to reflect on what peace looks and feels like in their own lives. We also held our first PATH draw of the year to recognize students who have been demonstrating peaceful and positive choices around the school.

 

To round out our celebration, we acknowledged all of our November birthdays, a cheerful way to end our time together! It was a warm and uplifting assembly that highlighted the many ways our students contribute to a caring and peaceful school community.
