Dear Copper Mesa Community,
I am covering the office on this Tuesday afternoon, after encouraging our office staff to go for a walk on this beautiful day!! November 14th - who would have thought it would be 66 degrees!! Loving this Fall.
Our PRIDE Skill next week is: Self Direction
This week I will mention the following:
VETERAN’S DAY
What a wonderful turnout we had once again for our annual Veteran’s Day celebration. I love recognizing and honoring our current military personnel and Veterans. I told several of our grade levels that these men and women are America’s true heroes. It was so cool to hear what branch of the military these men and women serve or served in, the years they served, and where they served. They have been all over the world protecting the United States of America. I also shared that my dad, who is now 92, was in the Navy during the Korean conflict. Check out the photo of some of the Veterans who joined us for lunch. A huge shout out also to our amazing Choir who sang some patriotic songs!
CHOIR FEEDER FESTIVAL
Speaking of our choir, with the leadership of Ms. Abi Muller, the boys and girls did an amazing job of singing at the feeder music festival. And just bragging a little, we had the most students in the choir than any other feeder school. So proud of our singers and a huge shout out to Ms. Muller!!
ALL PRO DADS BREAKFAST
Last call to invite all of our dads and their kiddos to our first breakfast gathering tomorrow, beginning at 7:30 am. We will spend some time eating some yummy breakfast and then some time in the book fair. Thanks to all of the dads who volunteered to arrive early or stay late to prepare and clean up from breakfast. I hope to have a cafeteria full of dads and their kiddos!!
LOOK FOR THE GOOD PROJECT
Thanks to our amazing CMEA group our school will be involved with a project called, Look for the Good. Our Student Leadership Council will lead the efforts with this project. The Look for the Good project is a two week school-wide art and writing program that helps students and teachers express gratitude for themselves, each other and the people who matter to them!! It will kick off with an assembly on Wednesday, November 29th. We will have a gratitude wall posted by our cafeteria where our staff and students and definitely you all will have the opportunity to put up a gratitude stickie!!
Speaking of gratitude - I am so thankful for all of you! I have been so fortunate to serve our community for over 7 years!!
Have the most Happiest of Thanksgivings with your loved ones!!
Steve
