I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break. I love that break and a holiday focused around being grateful. It is one of my favorite times of the year.
We hit the ground running when we got back to school. We have started our mid-year benchmark assessments. We use this data to check our progress and make plans for the second half of the year.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our student led conferences. We received very positive responses with an overall satisfaction rating of 2.5 out of 3.0 stars. We had several very positive suggestions for making them even better and we will be looking at those and tweaking the process so we can make the experience even better.
We also hosted two Regional Leader In Me workshops this week. Some of our Lighthouse Team members were able to give a tour to the teachers and principals who were in attendance. The attendees were very impressed with our school and all the children. There were several positive comments made about how nice, polite, and well behaved the students were. So, high five to all!
We also hosted Missoula Theater this week. Several of our students have stayed after school and stayed late in the evenings to put together this show. I am so excited to see this show as it is advertised as a show that helps us discover that our differences need not stand in the way of friendships. With an island filled with goats, an all-animal band, and hula dancing chameleons, I'm sure it will be entertaining. Doors open at 7:30. The show starts at 8:00 and it's just $5 for a family to attend.
Next week the PTA has Santa Shop in the library. This is a chance for your child to shop for presents for others. Please see information from your homeroom teacher on shopping times.
Don't forget our Evening With the Arts on Thursday the 12th at 6:00. All the students have been working hard to showcase their artwork through visual art, music, and dance. It promises to be a fantastic evening!
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Mrs. Turner
