From the Principal’s Desk
Dear Wildcat Family,
Tis’ the season to be jolly! As we move into the month of
December, we must not take our foot off the gas! We have a little
over two weeks before our Christmas/Winter Break; so, we must
work hard to make these weeks count! Our scholars have already
learned so much, but they are not done! Parents, please continue to
be proactive! Review homework, ask your scholar to show you the
strategies they are learning in class, monitor conduct, and
communicate with teachers.
With the holiday season comes many opportunities to make an
impact on the school and community. Therefore, we challenge you
to find ways to contribute to others who may not be as fortunate as
you! It is important that our scholars know the importance of
giving back and spreading joy to others who need it! Thanks for
supporting us in our efforts! As always, reach out to us if there is a
need.
Your Partner in Education,
Mrs. Charletta Williams
Principal

Staying healthy is important during the cold/flu season. Please

remind your children about these important tips to help them stay
healthy.

1. Wash hands often and use hand sanitizer.

2. Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water to boost your
immune system.
3. Keep your hands off your nose and eyes.
4. Get plenty of sleep. The body is better able to fight infection
when it is rested.
5. Exercise will also help boost the immune system.
6. Stay in bed at the onset of symptoms and seek medical
attention.
