Parents,

PTO Fundraiser has wrapped up

If your students have not turned in their order forms, please send them in on Monday.

Thank you for supporting PTO as this parent/teacher organization does so much to support our staff and students.

The Community and Action Team hope that you and your family have discussed your vision, plan, or goal for your family. Below are the next steps for creating the Mission Statement.

Creating a Mission statement

After defining the outcome, next is to create a family mission statement. In order to do this, figure out what is most important to your family by answering these seven questions:

1. What is the purpose of our family?
2. What kinds of things do we want to do?
3. What kind of feeling do we want to have in our home?
4. What kind of relationships do we want to have with one another?
5. What are our family’s priorities?
6. What are our responsibilities as family members?
7. How can we contribute to society as a family and become more service-oriented?

Give your children the opportunity to express their feelings of what they think is important to your family. Mission statements do not need to be long or formal, they just need to represent what is important to you and your family. Don’t try to rush this process. This may take a few months! Make sure that your family feels that the mission statement clearly represents what is important to everyone.

• What habit do you practice the most in your life? Give examples.

• What are some activities you like to do to “Sharpen your saw?”

• What to do normally do during recess?
