Pixie week is coming!
All students/staff drew a name TODAY. Please be sure to find the name on the half sheet of pink paper your child took home. (Keep it a secret until the next Friday). We ask that this be a week of relational building and encouragement among out students and staff. A fun and simple way to show kindness, love, and joy to each other. Everyone is asked to bring items listed each day during “Pixie” week for the name they drew. Pixie week is the week of February 10-14.
Below is a list of what your child should bring for their pixie that week:
Monday: Note of encouragement
Tuesday: Pencil/Pad of paper
Wednesday: Fruit
Thursday: Candy/Nutritious snack
Friday: 1 Drink and 1 snack item for pixie
(prefer a resealable drink)
