WARRIOR WAY ASSEMBLIES
On Wednesday (Teams 1, 2 & 3) and Thursday (Teams 4, 5 & 6) the school is holding morning Warrior Way Assemblies. Our Warrior Way Assemblies are designed to focus on the three principles of our school: Respect, Effort and Action. Please consider taking a moment tonight to ask your child about the assembly, which we hope was a fun and high energy event for all.
To help with this discussion, here are some questions you could consider asking them:
1) What group performed the entrance music for the assembly?
2) What does research show happens if you read for 14 minutes per day?
3) How can the school earn the privilege of wearing costumes to school on Halloween?
4) We watched this video as a group. Who is Chase? What challenge did he face? What goal did he set for himself?
5) Which group was recognized as “Ultimate Warriors” for this marking period?
Thank you for your interest in the assembly and your continued support of our school community.
