January 2017 Leader In Me Family Challenge

January Family Challenge Habit 4: Think Win Win

 Think Win-Win is the belief that everyone can win. It’s not me or you— it is both of us. It is a belief that there are enough good things for everyone; it is an abundant way of thinking. Think Win-Win is being happy for others when good things happen to them. Here are a couple of YouTube Videos that show some awesome Win-Win scenarios!!

School Play

McKinley presents Peter Pan 2017

This year’s play is Peter Pan and will be performed on April 28^th at 1:00 and 6:00. Practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-3:45. A more detailed schedule will be given at practice. Speaking parts will be given at the end of January.

Tryouts for the play will be January 10^th at 3:00 in the gym. We will start with the 1^st graders then move to 2^nd grade and on up. Each student will need to prepare a short poem to recite or a song to sing acapella (there will be no accompaniment) no more than 1 minute in length. The students may leave when they are done performing.

It is expected that students will be to all practices. We understand if there is a conflict. Please send your student with a note the next practice to excuse their absence. If there are 3 unexcused absences or excessive excused absences your child will be dismissed from the play. Also, if there is a behavior problem with your child they will be dismissed. We use a 3 strike system… strike 1-warning, strike 2-a parent will be notified, strike 3-dismissal from the play.

If you have any questions or concerns please let us know. We are excited for another year of play performing!
