Seeking Robin’s Nest Donations

ISO Child size belts, pants/leggings, adult socks. Donations can be brought to the main office.

Grandfriends’ Day

Getting invitations ready to send out to your extended and chosen family members! Please let us know who to include by adding their email addresses to this form.

Grandparents day is going to be a little different this year because we’re moving it a bit earlier in the day. The event will run from 9am-11am. This is important because it means that if your Grandfriend takes your child home/out after the event it is too early in the day to count toward attendance, and they would be marked absent for the day. Please encourage your Grandfriend to come- but to leave students to complete their school day!

Send some love to your favorite Evergreeners!

The Power of Service

As we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded that service is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference. It’s important our children understand that it doesn’t have to be a grand gesture and can be simple, everyday actions like listening without interrupting, including someone who feels left out, helping a classmate, or writing a kind note.

These small but meaningful acts help students build empathy, compassion, and a sense of responsibility. When students practice noticing how others feel, responding with kindness, and following through on commitments, they are strengthening key social-emotional skills such as social awareness and relationship skills. Service encourages students to move beyond individual concerns and begin thinking about how their actions impact the people and world around them.

We encourage students to look for everyday opportunities to serve. Tangible ways students practice empathy and compassion at school include:

Checking in with a peer who seems upset or overwhelmed
Inviting someone new to sit with them at lunch or join a group activity
Helping keep shared spaces clean and organized
Writing thank-you notes to staff members or community helpers
Being patient and respectful when others make mistakes

Families can also support social-emotional learning by modeling service and having intentional conversations at home. Conversation starters for families:

What does it mean to show empathy, even when we don’t agree?
How can our actions make someone else’s day easier or better?
“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” What does service look like for kids and families?

Get Involved!

If you and your family are looking for ways to get involved in our local community this MLK Jr. Day, check out the following local events and volunteer opportunities:

Hands On Asheville/Hood Huggers Service Project: This is kid friendly but you do need to register beforehand.
MLK Jr. Association Peace March & Rally:

By practicing service in small, tangible ways, students learn that the time is always right to do what is right. Together, we can help our students grow into compassionate, responsible, and caring members of their school and community.
