Sugar Creek Elementary

We are off to a great start! Our kindergarteners are practicing lunch procedures and our 1st graders are practicing how to be safe, respectful and responsible in the bathroom and the classroom. Preschool is having their first recess and finding new friends.

Good morning!

The day before school at our house is always busy. This year is no different, except I have a son starting middle school at Bridger. He is leaving the comfort of his elementary school and friend group and now has a chance meet new staff and new classmates. My youngest son, who is going into 3rd grade, is timid. Although he is still in his elementary comfort zone, having any new teacher makes him nervous.

Today, we will lay out their first day clothes and make sure our “Back to School” signs are ready. We will attempt to go to bed at our school night time so we will be well rested.

We will do all these things and I will continue to reassure them that tomorrow they will look for the kind kids. The kind kids are exactly the friends they want to make and the friend they want to be. Below is a post I have saved for years.

Today, my wish for every back-to- school parent is that we all have similar conversation: be the kind kid and find the kind kids.

Have a great Sunday and we will see you tomorrow!
