Greetings! We are off to a great start (even with the slight disruption of an earthquake) and all classrooms are finishing up their first unit of inquiry. Learning is as energetic and vibrant as ever. It was great to see so many of you at Back to School Night where we introduced our theme for the year: UP, which defines the work we will do together this year. So much of our IB/Primary Years Program is about using the knowledge and skills we develop to take action to make the world better and more peaceful. We are talking as a whole school about agreements that we can make to uplift one another and to raise the thinking and performance of our students. We recognize that we can feel uplifted by the feeling of accomplishing something, by what inspires us – like a speech or beautiful music, the actions of others. And as we uplift others we have the potential for transforming the quality of someone’s life. Let’s commit to working together this year to uplifting our school and our families. Thank you for all you do to support our school.
Sincerely, Janine Burt
