Parents,
I want to thank everyone who attended parent-teacher conference last week. I appreciate your time and effort in meeting with me. We are all working toward the same result – a positive and successful school year for your child! 

This week marks the 1,000^th day of school for fifth-graders. One of the ways we will be celebrating is with a kindness challenge. Our goal is to reach 1,000 acts of kindness by the end of the week. We encourage students to participate in this challenge to help make a positive difference in their community, reduce bullying, and learn the importance of treating one another with respect. Students will record their acts of kindness on a poster in the hallway outside of our classroom.
