Good morning everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend. My family went hiking yesterday afternoon (the hills behind my parents house in Temecula) and it was wonderful. We spotted a California newt in the creek! My Dad pointed out plants like Maidenhair fern, Our Lords Candle yucca and even Poison Oak! I always learn so much from our nature walks. My daily question for today is: "What did you do to sharpen your saw over the weekend?"

Leadership Opportunity

Dear Elevate Families,
 
Below is a special video from Mr. Elliott sharing about the first of several leadership opportunities we will be providing all Elevate students.
 
 
This Leadership Opportunity encourages students to show kindness by connecting with 5 older people in their lives. We are asking students to work with a parent to make a list of grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, etc. who would be encouraged by a call, digital chat, or email. Then be ready to share about your experience. 
 
Leadership Reflection sheets will be posted on your teacher’s class webpage - feel free to complete one sharing about your leadership endeavors. Then, be on the lookout for your next leadership opportunity - to hit your inbox shortly. 
 
Families, our school leadership team is daily analyzing information and guidance from the California Department of Education. Mr. Elliott will share updates in the near future about how Elevate will continue to partner and equip parents and students for their continued learning during this time of school closure.
 
The form will be in 'Learning Resources'.
