PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Let’s Have a Healthy and Positive Second Quarter
Dear Students,
As we settle into the school year, I encourage each of you to take a moment to reflect on your attitude toward learning and the goals you’ve set for yourself. Think about what you want to accomplish this year—not just in grades, but in the way you grow, challenge yourself, and approach each day with purpose.
To make these goals a reality, consider aligning them with positive habits that support both your academic success and personal well-being. Limit time spent on social media to keep your focus sharp. Spend time outdoors, stay physically active, and fuel your body with nutritious foods. Aim for quality sleep each night, as it’s crucial for staying energized and focused.
Also, make choices that protect your health—stay away from sugary and highly caffeinated drinks, as well as dangerous substances like vapes, which can negatively impact both your body and mind. Prioritizing these healthy habits will empower you to reach your goals and feel your best.
Let’s work together to build a strong, healthy, and positive second quarter!
Warm regards,
Mr. Yorke
First quarter student report cards are being mailed home at the end of the week.

FALL/WINTER RECESS PREPAREDNESS
Now that our weather is colder, a reminder to K-5 parents and students to make sure they are prepared for outdoor recess time. (Snow boots, snow pants, hats, gloves/mittens and warm coats.) Please make sure your K-5 child has warm weather attire each day to go outside so they can participate in recess. If there is a financial need for any of these items please either send a note in with your child or email mkeaney@sharonsprings.org.
