Daisy Daily for Week of October 30, 2017

Daisy Staff,

Thanks to all who supported "Dress Down for Breast Cancer Awareness" last Friday.  Our Daisy folks sure do look good in PINK!!!  Many thanks to Heather Gersz who has organized this event for the past several years : )

Can't you just feel the excitement building for October 31?

Please remember that we want to be sensitive to the wishes of our students' families (and staff), so if you have anyone who would prefer not to participate in the parade on Tuesday at 2 pm in the front circle, please let me know.  We will have an optional movement/art activity set up.  Also, some may prefer to watch the parade or walk with their class, without a costume.  Others may want to be festive, but may not have access to a costume.  Many teachers are addressing this by having a few festive items on hand, including things that students can make themselves, like spider headbands.  Please let me know if you have any concerns or need help with anything.

Please refer to the letter that went out to families and staff re: Fall Fun 2017, along with recommendations regarding the parade.  I will re-send that letter to all parties before Monday. 

A few notes about this week:

• In Grade-Level Meetings, we will have a final discussion re: SLO's and goals, so please have them ready for approval in EdReflect (formerly known as Bloomboard).
• As always, please check our DAISY STAFF CALENDAR for the events of this week and the weeks ahead:
