Message from the Principal
Dear Sangster Community,
Now that spring is truly here – the weather is warmer and the days are longer, we tend to spend more time outside. It’s important to keep moving to stay in shape – both for children and for adults.
Research shows children copy the behavior of adults in their life. If parents are physically active, the children will be active too. There is a body of evidence that states being physically active helps your physical and mental health.
Here are some ideas to stay in shape as a family this spring and summer
- Plan daily family walks
- Limit television or computer time to 1-2 hours per day
- Make exercise fun
- Encourage play outside with other children
- Assign chores that involved activity such as cleaning or walking the dog
- Help your children find physical activities they enjoy
Remember, making healthy change takes time and don’t expect perfection. Just keep moving. Here’s to a healthy and happy spring!
Your partner in education,
Lisa M. Reddel
Principal

National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day
Today, May 9th is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. At Sangster we work to reduce student stress by building positive relationships with students and families, creating a safe environment, recognizing students for their effort, and teaching positive coping strategies. What can you do in your home to prevent stress?

Student Placements for 2019-2020
While it is still early to be thinking ahead to next year, we want to give you information about class placements for the 2019-20 school-year ahead of time. The staff at Sangster work hard to place students in an optimal learning situation each year. If you have some information that would help us make those decisions, please send your comments in writing to Ms. Reddel by June 1st. Please do not list teacher names. Rather, describe the learning environment in which your child learns best.
Positivity Project - Week of May 13th
This week students are learning about the Other People Matter Mindset. This year we have learned about the 24 character strengths and the 5 components of the Other People Matter Mindset. Ask your student what they feel their top strength is. How do they use it to show that other people matter?
