Our goal for this fundraiser is $50,000. This money is crucial to our school’s budget. Literally keeping lights on and salaries paid.
As of publication, Fifth Grade is closest to meeting their $5,555 grade level goal, with Fourth Grade close behind! Can anyone reach their grade level goal before dismissal on Friday?

Navigating Tough Conversations: Children and the Media
Did you know that children are often more observant than adults? While adults tend to focus their attention on one task at a time, children often notice many things happening around them. This means that even something as routine as scrolling on your phone or having the news on in the background can catch a child’s attention.
In today’s digital world, children are exposed to more media than ever before. News about local and global conflicts or other troubling events can appear in headlines, conversations, or videos that children may see or overhear. Even when exposure is unintentional, these stories can bring up big feelings for kids, including fear, confusion, sadness, or worry. While adults may be better able to process difficult news, children’s developing brains often struggle to make sense of upsetting events. As a result, they may need extra reassurance, conversation, and support from the adults around them.
How to Support Your Child
Many families find themselves navigating difficult questions about these topics. Here are a few gentle ways to approach these conversations:
Start by listening. A simple way to begin is by asking, “What have you heard about this?” This helps you understand what your child already knows and creates a safe space for them to share their thoughts and questions.
Keep it simple. Offer clear, age-appropriate information. You don’t need to have all the answers. Often, what children need most is your calm presence and reassurance.
Focus on feelings. Instead of trying to explain every detail of why something is happening, it can be more helpful to focus on how your child is feeling. Let them know their feelings are valid and that you are there to support them.
Offer reassurance. These conversations will naturally grow and change as your child gets older. Simply talking together and reminding your child that they are safe and cared for can go a long way in helping them feel secure.
Keeping the conversation open and supportive helps children make sense of the world around them in a healthy and manageable way.
