Balance in our Lives for Winter Break
As we look forward to the holiday season and winter break that
is fast approaching, we are reminded of the importance of “balance” in our
children’s lives and our own lives. While we continue to strive for high
expectations and academic excellence for all, we must also try to maintain
necessary time for appropriate nutrition, sleep, exercise, relaxing and
socializing with friends and family and simply having fun….balance! With
that in mind, we will be moving into the winter vacation (December 23rd
– January 4th) with an agreement by all in our district that no long
term projects, lengthy reports or lengthy reading assignments will be given.
Instead, we would like to encourage all of our students and families to
read just for pleasure’s sake, spend time with friends and family, get some
rest and have fun!
