🌟 Albion All Star Parent Memo
Week of November 3–7
🎃 Halloween Highlights
What a fantastic Halloween celebration we had!
A huge thank you to our PAC for sponsoring the Albion Pumpkin Patch and to Mrs. Reamsbottom and Mrs. Cawker for organizing the event.
We wrapped up the week with an amazing Halloween Parade in the gym, where all students showcased their creative costumes!
🌟 Weekly Affirmation
Shine with Curiosity
“Curiosity fuels learning. Let’s encourage one another to ask questions and explore the world around them.”
To help students build resiliency, parents are encouraged to discuss this affirmation with their child.
