Principal s Message Hi Everybody, Our students and teachers all deserve this Labor Day holiday after working so hard to start such a smooth school year! When we return next week, our September focus on learning will turn our Kindergarteners into scientists studying the scientific method; 1 st graders into Rockin Readin Turtles; 2 nd graders into cartographers mapping the world s oceans and continents; 3 rd graders into pilots soaring the skies with model planes; 4 th graders into explorers of Florida s lands and people; and 5 th graders into physicists analyzing the properties of matter. The last week of September will bring Celebrate Freedom Week (Florida Statute ), during which the children learn about these words in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Thank you parents, PTO and community partners for teaming with us to create an amazing resource where children Learn, Think and Create! Your Principal, Caty Van Housen Students are embracing our focus on kindness this year, showing pride in joining the Kindness Crew, and even sharing the message on their clothing! 610 A1A North, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL Rawlings (904) PVPV (904)

The new Sunshine State books are coming into our Media Center, but before students can check them out, they must be covered in contact paper to make them more durable and extend their shelf life.

Kids of Character On Sept. 12 th, we ll hold our first Kids of Character breakfast to honor students who exemplify the six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring & Citizenship. Thank you PTO & Community Partner Chic Fil-A for helping us teach that Manners Matter. Thank you PTO for our new swings on the front playground! Bike Riders Must Wear Helmets! In many ways, being a school on the AIA is challenging. The traffic is very real and very present, especially as the kids are arriving and leaving school. We are noticing bikers without helmets on, and it worries us greatly. There is a bike helmet law. All people under the age of 16 must wear a helmet. A bicycle rider or passenger who is under 16 years of age must wear a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted and is fastened securely upon the passenger s head by a strap and that meets the federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, final rule, 16 C.F.R. part Our priority is your child s safety. Please insist your bike rider wear a helmet!

5 Students who practiced their math facts over the summer, completing at least 10 Reflex math lessons, enjoyed a slushie celebration of numbers! Keep practicing those math facts!
