We've crossed the line into quarter two. You've completed GOBS of evaluations of your students. I wonder if I might be so bold as to ask you to complete one more? I value your input into all that takes place at South Side. It takes a team to do what we do for our students and families. It would mean a GREAT deal to me if you would be willing to anonymously offer some feedback about my work at South Side. I certainly don't mean to take up more of your time which is SO valuable. There really is no hard deadline to this request. I'm just eager to grow, like you are. Honesty from those who work and live alongside us is how we all grow best. I'm hoping because this evaluation is anonymous, you will feel free to be honest. Here is a START/STOP/KEEP document. If you would be willing to "make a copy", no one else will be able to read what you type (if you don't "make a copy" we'll all know what you think of my work for better or worse 😉. After you've typed in a few thoughts, please PRINT the page rather than sharing via email if you'd like to remain anonymous. Please fold the paper and place it in my box. I'm eager to read ideas and techniques we can employ to improve life for little and big people at South Side. If you're wondering "does this request pertain to me?" If you're reading this message, that means you're on the South Side team. If you're on the South Side team, your opinion of me is important. I SO appreciate the time if you are willing! Thank you!
Thankful Giving
For the month of November, our students will see a box next to our food garbage cans in the hallway at lunch time. Any packaged food items that they would otherwise throw in the garbage, we will place in the Thankful Giving Box. The contents of this box will be delivered to the Holland Rescue Mission, specifically the Women and Children's' campus on 15th Street, twice a week. Items that need to be refrigerated will be kept in our refrigerator safely. We will run this program just for the month of November. It's called "Thankful Giving".
Marines' Letters
Dawn Mulder is an HC mom. Her son became a US Marine in April of this year. He and his fellow marines will not be home for the holidays and, for many, this is the first time to be absent for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Would EACH class, PK-2nd grade, be willing to make a Christmas card, drawing or write a letter to be given to a marine? Dawn suggested that the letters be addressed "Dear Marine"....and signed with the child's first name only and age, please. Dawn will come to pick up our letters on Friday of this week. If your class is able to participate, we'll need those cards/letters/pictures by Friday. If you just can't squeeze it in, we understand! Please don't stress. We'll have plenty to share!
Father's Night
Thank you in advance to our wonderful preschool team who has been working overtime to prepare an exciting night this Tuesday for our preschoolers and a parent. We will host Father's Night this Tuesday at South Side and at Rose Park. Thank you for all of your ideas, preparation and hours. This will be a fun night to see our littlest ones flying around the building proudly showing Dad a slice of their life at school (they're always moving from station to station very quickly, loudly and proudly with Pops in tow!)
Wellness Wednesday
This Wednesday is the first of the month! Let's dress comfortably and incorporate some healthy movement in a big Wednesday of learning!
