Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day
Hello Trailblazer Families:
BE PROACTIVE:
- CONGRATULATIONS to our Teacher of the Year: Mrs. Nickie Spencer! Mrs. Spencer works very hard to share how to be physically fit with our students and has worked with several students one-on-one this year to improve their social skills. WAY TO GO, MRS SPENCER!
- The Lost and Found is OVERFLOWING! If your child has a missing item, please have them check the lost and found. There are several lunchboxes, coats and hoodies! We'll also have this available during Winterfest, so check it out.

- Habit of the Month- November and December Picture Challenge
In the months of November and December we are focusing on Habit #3: Put First Things First and also on Habit #4: Thinking Win-Win.
Students that Put First Things First know it is important to work before they play. They focus on things that are most important and know when to say “no” to things they should not do. These students set priorities, make a schedule, and follow a plan. They are disciplined and organized. You might catch your students doing their homework before they play video games or doing their chores before watching tv. Look for ways your student is spending their time in productive ways.
Students that Think Win-Win look for ways that everyone can win. They balance having courage for getting what they want with consideration for what others want. They are kind and considerate of other people. When conflict arises, these student look for third alternatives that make everyone happy. You might catch your student working out a disagreement with their sibling or showing kindness to a friend or neighbor. Look for ways your student is being considerate of others and problem solving effectively!
