Sargeant Families Blog - February 11th

Thank you to those of you who were able to come out and help move rocks on Friday.  We were able to get it all done in 15 minutes!  We will be working with our maintenance department over the next couple of weeks to get the rock garden completed. Can't wait to show off the finished product!

This past week we participated in Global School Play Day - The kids and staff had a lot of fun!

IB Corner - February's Attribute

Students who are KNOWLEDGEABLE  have explored relevant and significant

concepts and can apply this knowledge to new situations.  

How can families help at home?

• Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond with the topics being covered in school.
• Encourage your child to read books at home in your home language.
• Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:

“Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?”

Girls on the Run 
Unfortunately we will not have a Girls on the Run team this year as we didn't have enough girls sign up in order to make a full team.  We will try again next year.
