A Note from Our Principal

From apple and pumpkin-themed activities to leaf hunts and more, we’ve enjoyed all sorts of autumn fun and learning throughout October. This month, we will embark on a journey of fostering connections and celebrating family traditions as we nurture the spirit of Thanksgiving and togetherness. Our students will engage in activities that inspire gratitude and kindness by sharing personal experiences and learning about the importance of giving back to our community.

Thank you for entrusting us with the care and education of your children. We look forward to another month of joy and learning!

Sincerely,

Forozan Zamani

 

Holiday Giving

‘Tis the season! Our annual Holiday Giving initiative is a way for students to spread cheer this holiday season while developing an appreciation for what they have, showing gratitude towards others, and seeing the positive impact of their actions. This year we are hosting a Toy Drive for Seattle Children’s Hospital. More details to come via Transparent Classroom. Thank you in advance for your partnership and generosity.

 

Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to honor their culture, accomplishments, and contributions. When children acknowledge and appreciate diverse cultures, they are helping to build a community of belonging and inclusion. We will be celebrating in our classrooms by reading books about Native Americans, making a traditional meal, and exploring nature which is an important part of the Native American culture!

 

Thanksgiving/ Fall Celebrations

Our students will be celebrating Thanksgiving with fun classroom activities on week of November 18th. The Primary classrooms will be hosting Thanksgiving Feasts, keep an eye out for more information from the teachers.

Our Enrolled Family Survey launched in October. If you have not received the email, please let us know so we can request that it be resent. The survey provides the opportunity for you to give us feedback anonymously on our strengths and areas we can work on. The survey closes November 8.
