Madison Weekly Update to Families
Week of October 9th
Message from Mrs. Terminelli
Madison Owl Families,
I hope you are able to enjoy the long weekend! There will be no school on Monday in observance of Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day.
This week is Fire Prevention Week. The Massena Volunteer Firefighters will be visiting Madison on Tuesday for our annual drill and presentations. Please take the time this week to make sure your batteries are changed in your smoke detectors, as well as to practice a plan for your family to reunite after evacuating your home in case fire alarms go off.
Below you'll see some important news and notes. Please click on any of the images and links below to see the attachments or websites!
Looking forward to next week!
Mrs. Terminelli

POSITIVITY PROJECT CORNER
OTHER PEOPLE MATTER~ BE PRESENT & GIVE OTHERS MY ATTENTION
This week our school community will be focusing on the Other People Mindset of Being Present and Giving Others My Attention. This means when I’m with other people, I’m present and give them my full attention.
This element of the Other People Mindset is so important today due to the increasing number of distractions vying for our time and attention. Phone calls, text messages, emails, social media notifications all have the dangerous capacity to pull us away from the present moment and, what’s most important -- our relationships with other people.
Just like plants need sunlight to grow, our relationships need attention. If we don’t give our attention to the people we’re building relationships with -- whether family members, close friends, or even distant colleagues -- we can’t build those relationships. It’s vitally important that we pick our heads up from our cell phones and truly listen to other people when they’re talking. A positive culture is built on positive relationships -- and we can’t build positive relationships without attention.
To practice and encourage the character strength of perspective with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.

Thank You, White's Farm Market
Mrs. Rode, our custodian, surprised us on Monday morning with a gift from White's Farm Market. They donated the fall decorations to make our entryway extra special. There was even a cameo appearance from Minnie & Mickey!
