Week of 11.12.18


Hello Brave Community! 

Happy Monday Evening!  Thanksgiving Break is right around the corner! With that in mind, I want to wish each family represented by our student body a restful and blessed holiday.  School will resume on Monday, November 26, 2018.  We will be refreshed and prepared to provide each of our BRAVE students an amazing teaching and learning experience here at DFT!

As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each week.  Our habit of the week this week is Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw!   We teach our students the importance of having balance.  We encourage them to take care of themselves by eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep.

Word of the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “integrity”.  It is a noun that means to be honest and have strong principles.  Partner with us in focusing on our campus WOW.  Ask your student to use the word in a sentence or perhaps you could be very intentional in your use of our word.  Thanks for your participation!

Brave Family Fun Night!
The event is this Tuesday, November 13, 2018, 5:30-7:30!!  We will have amazing Math and Literacy activities that are directly connected to our Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.  AND, our Book Fair will be open that evening!  Please plan to attend!

Library Nights:
Join us in the library most Tuesdays, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for a Read Aloud and an activity.  The next couple of Library Nights are scheduled for 11/27, 12/4 and 12/11.  We hope to see you there! 

Looking Ahead:
Tuesday, 11/13:  Brave Family Fun Night!
Upcoming Library Nights: 11/27, 12/4 and 12/11!
Thanksgiving Break:  November 19-23!
Monday, 11/26: Site-Based Committee Meeting

Quote of the week:
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”  John C. Maxwell

My Belief:
I consider it a privilege and a blessing to serve the Double File Trail Elementary Community as the principal.  I believe in our students and their ability to achieve excellence in education. I want to partner with you to make this happen.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any member of my team in support of your child’s education.  We are ALL here to support and encourage our students to BE BRAVE, CHOOSE KIND and LEAD ON!
