Let's celebrate... Ms. Phillips, our school nurse,  and her healthy harassments. Ms. Shepard for her hard work in coordinating the Curriculum and Instruction Night.  Ms. Shepard did a great job of working with grade levels, communicating the plan, organizing volunteers and ordering the food.  Thank you also to the Community committee for their support.  Well done!   The teachers who prepared and presented for C&I night.  The event was a success and provided a valuable opportunity to communicate with our parents about how we are meeting the needs of all our students.   Ms. Cole for integrating music instruction into science and social studies and providing extra credit and grades for students to get credit for their hard work.   Ms. Falk, Ms. Gross, Ms. Gatten, and Ms. Hurdt for taking the time to create the hilarious Emotional Bank Account video. Ms. Mills, Ms. Ashworth, Ms. Lewis, Ms. Hamilton and the Traditions committee who are coordinating the Fall Festival.   Ms. O'Shaughnessy for planning Red Ribbon Week.

The Leader in Me monthly focus: Be Proactive.  Boosters and reminders (our structured calendar) will be provided on our Morning News. :) Don't forget to check-out SarahAnn Taylor's blog at sarahanntaylor.org. See last week's blog about Leadership Notebooks. Remeber the 'why.'  It is about setting goals and student accoutability.        We will be starting our 7x7 personal journey together soon.  Details to come from the Lighthouse Team.

Date change:  Please bring student exemplars of two column notes to the staff meeting on November 2nd and laptops for a kahoot quiz.

• Red Ribbon Week: October 26th-30th
• Monday - Red Ribbon week kick-off! Wear red.
• Tuesday - Follow your dreams for on-track Tuesday! Wear pajamas.
• Wednesday - We take care of our bodies and say no to drugs. Wear fitness gear.
• Thursday - Our future is bright with our careers in mind! Wear college and career gear
• Friday - Say boo to drugs!! Wear orange and black.

• Grades:  Grades need to be recorded by November 3rd.  

• Learning A-Z (K-2 only):  Please watch the video Joy provide prior to your November 4th PLC.  

• Visitors:  We will have visitors in our building on Monday, October 26th from 9:00-11:00.  They are coming to see the Leader in Me in action on a regular day of learning.  Please give these folks a warm Bullock welcome as they explore our school and see the great things happening at Bullock.  

• Mr. and Mrs. Leave a Legacy:  Please communicate with your students and their families to vote for Mr. and Ms. Leave a Legacy.  We have sent out a lot of communication, but we need to promote this fundraiser to raise money for our school and great charities.  The deadline for vote (money) is October 29th at 6:00pm. 

• Emotional Bank Account dues:  Please remember to pay your EBQ dues.  

• Staff member of the month:  Don't forget to nominate your collegues and celebrate the ways people "love, learn and lead" at Bullock.  

• Write-Ups:  Please remember that disciplinary write-ups should be completed within 24 hours of the incident.  A parent phone call must be made the day the event occurs and BEFORE a write-up will be processed.  Ideally, a write-up should be completed the day the incident occurs.  Ms. Perrell and I will not be able t0 process write-ups recieved after 24 hours.   

• IMPORTANT Open enrollment:  All LCS employees must sign and date that they have reviewed their health insurance package.  This must be completed no later than November 20th or you could lose your state health insurance.  Yikes.  The directions are located at https://goo.gl/1osvqo.  Please see Gail with any questions. 

• Young Authors: The theme for the 2015–2016 Young Authors’ Project is “Making the Most of Me.” Young Authors are encouraged to write about defining choices that have shaped their lives or their own journeys toward becoming the very best version of themselves. Authors may write prose or poetry, fiction or non-fiction.  Please see Charlene's email sent on October 20th. This writing exercise so aligns with our mission and vision.  Please make sure all students are permitted an opportuniy to participate.  

• Instruction:  Ms. Mills provided an excellent overview of the Calderon method of vocabulary acquisition.  Please consider where you can use these great strategies in your instruction.
