Give It Your All!

The Power of Full Engagement, by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. Loehr and Scwartz contend that to get the most from any experience, you must be totally committed to and engaged in that experience. Forget multitasking. If you focus all of your energy on one task at a time, you'll be more effective at every task you take on. Think about this next time you are in a meeting, checking e-mail, reading the newspaper, and writing up your grocery list. If you got to be there, BE THERE!

January Birthdays!!!

Birthday Breakfast Bunch...

At the end of every month we celebrate all of the birthdays from that month by having doughnuts and juice. This initiative has been a huge success with students and staff alike. The one thing that I have learned is that elementary age kids will not eat a doughnut unless it has frosting and sprinkles of some sort on it.

Spring Conferences

Spring conferences will be held on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 from 2:30 - 8:30 p.m. Parents are encouraged to come in between now and then to sign up for a conference slot. If you can not make it in, please e-mail or call your child's teacher for assistance with scheduling. I hope to see you all there.

No Name Calling Week

January 26th - 30th was No Name Calling Week at CES. The week was filled with activities to promote no-name calling and to bring awareness to this serious issue. Thursday we did a wrap-up activity called "Cub Kudos." Students and staff were invited to write a special message to another person and post it on the board. These messages will remain posted through conferences.
