Dear Parents,

We enjoyed our celebration of the 100th day of school and the fact that we are 100 days smarter! Walking the halls of an elementary building provides great insight into the seasons of the year and what is going on in our kids' lives. The snowmen are still up, but we are seeing lots of hearts as well! As we move into this season of love, it is fun to see our kids think about the friends and teachers that they care for. One thing I talk with staff about on a fairly regular basis is to, "Look for the good and tell someone about it." Our kids seem to do this naturally. As they write thoughtful notes and valentine cards, they share sentiments of kindness and gratefulness. This is one more way that our caring community at Trebein shines through.

In the next week or so, you will be receiving an email from me to see if you would be interested in participating in this year's book study. We will be reading, Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be by Dr. Becky Kennedy. This is an opportunity to interact with other parents and actually talk about parenting. I truly enjoy this time with parents!

Thank you for sharing your clever and loving children with us!

Lisa Walk, Principal
