Halloween

Please note that students will not attend school on Friday, October 31st.  As Halloween is celebrated on this date, students will the opportunity to participate in dressing -up on the Thursday afternoon of October 30th.

 If students would like, they may bring costumes which they can change into for the afternoon. For safety reasons, masks and weapons are not allowed to be part of the dress. As well, please do not send treats to school due to allergies, but save them for the trick-or-treaters of the Vista Heights community.

Determination!

Our virtue for October is Determination. Today we read the story The Little Engine that Could, where a happy little train breaks down and the clown and elephant are in despair. Please ask your child: What happened in the story? How did the little engine show determination? 

Here are some questions you can discuss at home:

1. How can you show determination when you are doing your home reading or chores?
2. How do you feel after finishing a hard task?
3. How can you make healthy choices this week?
