 Family Engagement Month
November is Family Engagement Month and we sure have had A LOT of engagement last month and this month! We have heard from so many families about how much they enjoy our special events, and we see the joy evident on the faces of our students when they see their families here at school. We will have more opportunities this year for parents and families to get involved in a variety of events.

 First Grade Fieldtrip
This week the 1st Grade classes took a field trip to Ellanor C. Lawrence Park to learn all about terrific trees! We found trees based on their bark, seeds, flowers, and leaves. We learned about the different parts of a tree and how important trees are in preventing erosion. It was a chilly day but fun!
Chantilly Tech Fair
Come and join us for a fun STEAM experience in which kids can learn more about the various parts of STEAM. In addition, students can talk with high school student volunteers about how high school life is and they can gain valuable information which they can use to prepare for high school!
See the attached flier for more information.
Lunch Safety
Many students bring lunch from home. If you pack a lunch for your child, here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:
- please pack food in plastic containers, not glass ones. Glass can easily break and ruin a child's lunch.
- do not send in knives for your child to cut their food. If food needs to be cut, please cut it at home.
- will your child need silverware or a napkin when they eat? If so, please pack those for them.
Alcohol and the Holidays
Attached here is information provided by Allyson (Ally) Jacobi, Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist, regarding drinking during the holidays.
