A Note from Principal Hough We are officially in the last month of school and there is a lot of excitement in the building as we kick off our very first Boosterthon Fun Run! Students will be running 30-35 laps around a shortened track and will be asking for pledges for their hard work. If we can get a pledge from all 50 states, Mrs. Patel and I will spend the afternoon on the school roof. We are also asking every student to register at funrun.com for their first prize. The Boosterthon team doesn’t only organize the run, they also provide daily character lessons for our students. We are excited to have this opportunity and we hope that you will share this information with family and friends so they can help support our school. May 2nd – 6th is Teacher Appreciation Week! The PTSA is providing our teachers with a breakfast on Monday, a special note on Tuesday, a flower on Wednesday, a luncheon on Thursday (Sponsored by Good Shepherd) and a sweet treat on Friday. Families may participate on any day they like. Our students are participating in a lot of End of Year assessments from now until June. Please help us by getting students to school on time and by making sure they are getting enough rest. Thanks for your support. Happy May!

Our students are prepared and ready to take the test. Some students may get worried before the test. Just remind then to do their best, get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast. Below are some tips to help with test anxiety. Hi Pirate Families, Dear Parents, 21st Century Learning involves teaching our students about digital literacy. We want to make sure our students acquire those skills that will help prepare them to be college and career ready. Part of these lesson involves knowledge about cyberbullying. Thank you for all your support with our Service Learning Projects. The students have learned a lot about the importance of giving to others. We have completed three of the four Service Learning Projects this year. Gray’s, a second grader, favorite project was Operation Christmas Child because, “I knew that some family would get Christmas that may not have before.” What is Cyber Bullying? Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles. Effects of Cyberbullying Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar. Kids who are cyberbullied are more likely to: Use alcohol and drugs; Skip school; Experience inperson bullying; Be unwilling to attend school; Receive poor grades; Have lower self-esteem; Have more health problems Prevent Cyberbullying Know the sites your kids visit and their online activities. Ask where they’re going, what they’re doing, and who they’re doing it with. Ask to “friend” or “follow” your kids on social media sites or ask another trusted adult to do so. Establish rules at home about technology use. Understand school rules and policies involving technology use. Jason Gwinn, Counselor Andrea Hartman, Counselor Our first service learning project was Paws with Cause. This is a non-profit organization that trains assistance dogs for people with disabilities. We collected about 375 items for this organization to use during their trainings with dogs. During the winter we collaborated with Operation Christmas Child as our second service learning project. Operation Christmas Child is an organization providing aid to people around the world. We collected 250 boxes to send to Operation Christmas Child. Some of our students went to the center in Charlotte to drop off the boxes. To celebrate World Water Day in April, our school had a penny drive. We collected about $581.00 to send to a non-profit organization providing reliable water to communities in subSaharan Africa. Our last service project is for a local organization called Safe Alliance. We are collecting non-perishable items for this organization to provide for those victimized by violence. Each one of our grade levels have had an opportunity to help lead one of our projects and present in our SAIL Ceremony. . “…Giving is better than receiving and it made me happy when we gave,” said Nilesh, a second grader. We hope that these service learning projects helped students see their part in the community and world. We want them to understand that they are important and can make a difference in the world around them.
