Dear Poplar Tree Families,
We cannot believe we have made it to the end of the first quarter of school! All of our students should be so proud of all the hard work they have put in each and every day. We've seen our students grow as Creative & Critical Thinkers and look forward to continuing to focus on this Portrait of a Graduate attribute during the remainder of the school year!
We wish a fun Diwali to all celebrating! Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs & some Buddhists. The festival represents the symbolic victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.
This week we also recognize those in our community observing All Saints Day and Día de los Muertos. For Catholics, All Saints Day (November 1) celebrates all those who are with God in Heaven, known and unknown. All Souls Day (November 2), known in Mexico and Latin America as Día de los Muertos, is a day of remembrance and prayer for all those who have died, especially for the souls who may be in purgatory. These special days are celebrated by Catholics, Anglicans, and some Protestants throughout the world.
As a reminder there is no school for students on Friday, November 1, Monday, November 4, and Tuesday, November 5! We look forward to having our students back in the building on Wednesday, November 6!
Have an awesome weekend!
Sue Andujar, Principal
Amy Alley, Assistant Principal
