Estimadas Familias de Douglass, ¡Estamos emocionados de anunciar que celebraremos la Semana de la Amabilidad del 10 al 14 de febrero! Esta semana está dedicada a promover la amabilidad y la compasión dentro de nuestra comunidad escolar a través de una variedad de actividades divertidas y atractivas. Aquí está lo que hemos planeado: Lunes, 10 de Febrero: ¡Sirve a los Demás - Sé un Héroe de la Comunidad! Vístete como un médico, policía, enfermero, maestro o usa una camiseta o capa de superhéroe. ¡Recordemos a los estudiantes cómo sus futuras carreras pueden ayudar a los demás! Martes, 11 de Febrero: ¡Soñando con un Mundo Amable! Usa tu pijama favorito. Mientras soñamos con la amabilidad, ¡recordemos tomar acción y actuar con bondad! Miércoles, 12 de Febrero: ¡Difunde la Alegría y el Sol! Usa algo amarillo. ¡Sé amable, sonríe y esparce felicidad! Jueves, 13 de Febrero: ¡Sin Excusas para Ser Amable! Usa gafas divertidas, gorras o ropa mezclada. ¡Aceptemos nuestras diferencias y aceptemos a los demás tal como son! Viernes, 14 de Febrero: ¡Difunde el Amor! Usa rojo, rosa o morado y trae un artículo enlatado. ¡Juntos, podemos ayudar a quienes lo necesitan! Además de nuestras actividades diarias, también estaremos organizando una Colecta de Comida enlatada y Artículos de Aseo para beneficiar al Centro de Oportunidades y a las familias de Douglass. Las donaciones son voluntarias e incluyen alimentos enlatados, alimentos no perecederos, pasta de dientes, cepillos de dientes y jabón. Estaré visitando las aulas por la mañana para recoger donaciones y llevaré un conteo por nivel de grado y aula. ¡La clase que traiga más artículos ganará una fiesta de pizza! Esta es una maravillosa oportunidad para que nuestros estudiantes aprendan sobre la empatía, la cooperación, la responsabilidad y la gratitud al ayudar a los demás. ¡Gracias por su apoyo y esperamos una semana llena de amabilidad!

Dear Douglass Families, We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating Kindness Week from February 10th to 14th! This week is dedicated to promoting kindness and compassion within our school community through a variety of fun and engaging activities. Here’s what we have planned: Monday, Feb. 10: Serve Others - Be a Community Hero! Dress as a doctor, police officer, nurse, teacher, or wear a superhero shirt or cape. Let’s remind students how their future careers can help others! Tuesday, Feb. 11: Dreaming of a Kind World! Wear your favorite pajamas. While we dream of kindness, let’s remember to take action and act kindly! Wednesday, Feb. 12: Spread Sunshine and Joy! Wear anything yellow. Be kind, wear a smile, and spread happiness! Thursday, Feb. 13: No Excuses to Be Kind! Wear funky glasses, caps, or mixed-matched clothes. Embrace our differences and accept others as they are! Friday, Feb. 14: Spread the Love! Wear red, pink, or purple and bring a canned food item. Together, we can help those in need! In addition to our daily activities, we will also be hosting a Canned Food and Toiletry Items Drive to benefit the Opportunity Center and Douglass families. Donations are voluntary and can include canned goods, non-perishable food items, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap. I will be visiting classrooms in the morning to collect donations and will keep a tally by grade level and classroom. The class that brings in the most items will win a pizza party! This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about empathy, cooperation, responsibility, and gratitude by helping others in need. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to a week filled with kindness!
