Ewing Young News

The school year is moving by quickly, and while it is getting colder outside, there is a lot of energy and excitement within the school. It is fun to watch how far our students have come during the first few months of the school year!

As the weather is turning colder please make sure you are having your child check the lost and found. We are starting to gather a lot of jackets and would like to get those back to our students. As the rain approaches remember we are limited on gym space during recess so the kids will be outside under the covered area during lunch recess, so it is important to have jackets to stay warm and dry.

We have two weeks of school left before the break with all sorts of activities so I hope to see you in the building. Have a great December!

Regardless of our age, we are constantly learning and developing. For our school-age students school is the place where we are learning how to read, write, do math, and become life long learners. They develop key relationships and learn important social skills. For all of this to happen students need to be at school daily.

The attendance rate is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It’s difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. Prioritizing school is a life lesson in itself and one that we value. We have had a lot of students showing up late to school which makes it very hard to build consistency and routines for our students. In all of our classrooms we start instruction right at 8:30, so making sure students are in the classroom and ready to go helps set the tone for a great day of school.

The students in all grades are preparing for our annual Holiday Sing-a-long which will be on December 20th at 2:40 pm. Please join us in singing some holiday favorites.

The Ewing Young Choir has been busy these past few weeks and are sounding great. On November 16th they sang at our Holiday Bazaar. They will be taking a field trip to go caroling on December 17th and will sing a song for us at the Holiday sing-a-long on December 20th.

Over the past month our students have been supporting our community through a variety of ways. In November we had our canned food drive to support F.I.S.H, where the BEAVERS won the food drive (but unfortunately could not win the football game)

In December we have our annual giving tree where students have the opportunity to take a paper ornaments off of the tree which identifies an item that we are trying to collect. These items range from food to clothing, all of which goes directly to support our families. If your child brings home an ornaments and you would not like to participate, feel free to have your child return the ordainment to the tree.

“You always pass failure on the way to success.”

– Mickey Rooney

When you avoid failure YOU ALSO avoid success.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Instead, spend your time NOT focusing on failure, but on surrounding

yourself with people who will support your setbacks.

Know that failure is a part of your process.

Failure is natural. Failure is not permanent.
