Bobcat Broadcast
December 23, 2022
A Message from Mrs. Caudill
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year. May peace, love, and prosperity follow you always. Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you happiness. May it be yours this holiday season and throughout the coming year.
At Amerman, we are excited to begin a new year. This year our goal is to continue helping our students learn all of the important things they will need to be successful learners! We are passionate about learning and everyone at Amerman; classroom teachers, specials teachers, building aides, custodians, and office staff, want you to know that we are committed to providing your child/children a positive and fun place to learn.
As a reminder we want you to Rest, Relax, Rejuvenate this holiday break! We believe school breaks should be just that - a brief reprieve from school responsibilities like homework, special projects, planning, and grading. It is a time to reconnect with loved ones without the stress of school work creeping in. I will be leading by example and there will be no Bobcat Broadcast the next two weeks due to Winter Break. Please look for a new Broadcast on Friday, January 13. I hope each of you have a relaxing break full of family, fun and togetherness.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Warm Wishes,
Devon Caudill

Pink, purple and Blue Bottle Caps needed
Our 5th graders have started working on the bottle cap mural that will be installed in Amerman's main hallway later this year! We have a need for PINK, PURPLE and BLUE plastic bottle caps. If you happen to have any bottle caps of these particular colors, we'd appreciate you sending them to the art room with your student. Check out our progress so far. It looks AMAZING. We can't wait to see it completed.
Thank you in advance for your help with this special project!

HABIT 4 - THINK WIN-WIN!
During the Month of January we will be working on Habit 4: Think Win-Win this month. Everyone can Win!
What this means: Think about others as well as yourself. Long-term relationships require mutual respect and mutual benefit.
“I make deposits into others’ Emotional Bank Accounts.”
“When conflict arises, I look for third alternatives.”
“I balance courage for getting what I want, with
consideration for what others want.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Live by the Golden Rule- Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
