Mr. Severin, Principal

 

Dear Sister Lakes Families,
 
March is Reading Month at Sister Lakes Elementary and our theme this year is "Books Don't Grow on Trees". We have lots of activities planned at school like DEAR day (Drop Everything And Read), Read a Shirt Day (wear a shirt with words), Story Character Day (dress like your favorite storybook character), and many others.  Keep an eye on classroom newsletters for more information on each event. 
 
With us celebrating March as reading month, you'll find that your children will be very excited about reading.  Take advantage of this motivation and spend extra time reading with your children.  You can plan special activities like trips to the library or even reading nights with the whole family choosing a favorite book to read in front of the fireplace.  Be creative and have fun with your kids!  I'd love to hear about how you celebrate reading month at home.
 
I'm hopeful that we are in the final stretch of Winter.  I heard birds the other morning reminding me that Spring is close.  This can be a tough month for kids when it comes to staying motivated.  It's been a long and cold winter and that can wear on children.  Keep a close eye on your little ones.  Help them to keep a positive attitude.  Teach your children about random acts of kindness, and help them find opportunities to 'make someone's day' with a kind act.  We want our kids to be SuperStars both in the classroom and out of the classroom. 
 
Thank you for all of you support.  Sister Lakes wouldn't be the school it is without the support of  our families. 

Matt Severin, Principal
