It's been a long week. Thanks for finishing off parent teacher conferences with a bang with in-person and Zoom meetings. Communication with parents is essential and remembering that we are in a partnership with them to help their child will result in good outcomes.
Speaking of positive feedback, I cannot remember a time when so many staff members came up to me about an assembly. Hats off to Melissa for organizing the assembly and to April, Morgan, Danielle and Angela for all of their help making it a success. Obviously thanks to Frank and Tony for all of the set-up and takedown and thanks again to our very own Rich and Bill for their service to our country. Honor Flight Chicago and the Carol Stream Police Color Guard made the first assembly in two years even more special.
Michelle and Kathy did a great job organizing a Caudill book talk with our students as an activity for students when they were not in the assembly. Getting students motivated about reading is always important.

Sue has done a great job transitioning over the last two days as a Benjamin Staff member. Getting thrown out in the rain with an umbrella for her first morning duty shift and getting to know the students in her class are just two examples of the great job she has done already.
Don't forget about your wellness appointments tomorrow. Thanks to Jen s for getting this event set up and organized. I also realize that people will have health screening appointments and even booster shot appointments that will conflict with the days planned activities. Just go to your appointment and join back in with the learning fun when you are finished.

Thanks to Dan, Matt, and Nicole for the great job they are doing with the Winter sports season. Also thanks to everyone who signs up for scorekeeping and supervisor roles. We need everyone to make this work.
Thursday, Nov. 18 is the staff lunch provided by Admin and BOE. This will be the REAL turkey feast as Jen is ordering it from Sportys. Then, we have the "leftovers" option on Friday, Nov 19 with the turkey sandwich from Sodexo. The Google form was sent to everyone.
