I hope everyone had a fantastic winter break. I hope it was everything you had hoped it would be. I found joy in being able to unplug, relax, read, read, read some more and focus on my favorite job, mom.
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, humanities teachers, building aides, playground 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
This weekend's weather is a great reminder to keep an eye on the weather each morning and make sure your child brings boots, snow pants, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. to school for the next few months when needed. Unless the temperatures/windchill are below zero, students go outside for a much-needed fresh air/movement break.
Stay Well,
Devon Caudill

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.
