Greetings Husky Families
The second half of our 1st quarter has arrived. We hope your family has had a moment to reflect on the first five weeks of school. What are some things that made you proud? What are some things you would like to improve? The ultimate question for you might center around our theme for the school year: What Is Your Hope? While we know that hope is something you expect or desire, we are asking each student to share something they are hoping for this school year. Our theme, What Is Your Hope?, is directly connected to the video link here: What Is Your Hope? During the first week of school, students spent time sharing and discussing the theme and identified their hopes for the school year.
Just a friendly reminder: Please take a moment to complete the survey connected to Jahn’s performing arts programming. Below is the link for a voluntary and anonymous survey that should not take more than 10 minutes of your time. If you’d like to participate, please plan to complete the survey no later than October 4. You can find the survey linked here. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you in advance for helping us to make Jahn School the best it can be!
Our SEL theme for the month of October is Anti-Bullying. As we take time to amplify and support anti-bullying, we are providing you with a few resources:
- All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold
- Bully by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
- Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
- Freckleface Strawberry by Julianne Moore
Have an amazing week.
Dr. Kimbrough and Dr. Ferreras
