APRIL COUNSELOR'S CORNER - JANE STIENER
Creating a Positive Bedtime Routine Nighttime, immediately before sleep, is the time when we're able to reconfigure our mindset (same as right after waking up).  Having a positive conversation with your kids - right before sleep - will carry them into the night with gratitude and positivity.  Use the link below to make a glowing cube to help foster a positive mindset bedtime ritual. Each side of the cube has a question such as “What did you learn today?" "What are you grateful for?" "How were you kind today?" Have your kids toss a cube every night before sleep. They will have so much fun answering the questions (and let them ask you one too).

FROM THE PRINCIPAL - JOSH MILLER
The Principal Chronicles continue ... What is up with the apocalyptic weather? I have been in education for a really long time and can't think when we had a potential snow day in mid-April. It just seems really crazy to think. On a different note, we started our CMAS testing this week. It is a tough time for us. None of us truly love state testing but at the same time, it is how we are measured as a school and how we are measured against other schools. That is what is hard; we do so many things for students here above and beyond the test that isn't measured or noted on our statewide reports. Having said that, I am pretty confident we will continue to grow. Since I have been the Principal of this wonderful elementary school we have grown in our scores every year I have been here. It is something we are proud of and something our teachers have worked extremely hard for. CMAS essentially takes over the school for a couple of weeks. It takes literally every staff member we have to administer the test, not to mention we are utilizing every single open space that we have in the building. Needless to say, I will be very happy when it is all said and done. That is it for this weeks edition. Tune in next week when the Principal chronicles continue.
