Cubbie News
Dear Cub Run Families and Friends,
We are celebrating Family Engagement Month in November. We recognize that our families are children’s first and most important teachers, advocates, and nurturers. Family engagement is a shared responsibility between home, school, and the community. We appreciate the partnership that we have with our families and our PTA. Thank you to our outstanding PTA for our school-wide pizza lunch on Tuesday. Our Cubbies enjoyed it!
As we approach this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for the unwavering support and generosity of our incredible community. We were filled with joy to welcome so many parents and families to our Veterans Day events and are looking forward to seeing many families at our Thanksgiving Luncheon and PTA Family Game Night on Friday. We hope you will be able to join one of these wonderful opportunities to connect with one another, foster a sense of belonging, and create lasting memories as part of our school community. Together, We Belong.
As we gather with our families and friends, let us take a moment to reflect on what we are thankful for this season. We are incredibly thankful for each of you and are honored to be a part of such a caring and supportive community. Our next community message will be on Wednesday, December 4. We look forward to welcoming our Cubbies back after the break next week on Monday, December 2.
With much gratitude,
Melissa Miller & Nausheen Haider
