• The most significant influence we all can have
  on young children is to model the behaviors we
  desire. Do what I say, not what I do, doesnt
  work. We believe it is the beginning of a very
  important partnership between home and school and
  has a significant impact on your childs success
  in school. We know that many of you are working
  parents. However, as you will learn, there are
  many ways to participate in your childs
  education. Thus, we encourage you to participate
  in whatever capacity you can throughout the
  school year. I will leave you with the following
  thought by Emily Dickinson for our theme this
  marking period If I can stop one heart from
  breaking/ I shall not live in vain/ If I can ease
  one life the aching/Or cool one pain/ Or help one
  fainting robin/into his nest again/I shall not
  live in vain.
• Thank you.
