MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Sakai Families,

I would like to wish a Happy Veterans Day to all our service men and women and their families. We thank you for your service.

Starting this week and going through winter break, we are challenging our students with a daily Kindness task. Each day on our broadcast we’re watching a quick video with a Kindness challenge for the day. I urge you to ask your student about it each day and encourage them to participate. Today the challenge is to write a short, loving note to one family member and hide it in a place that might be hard for them to discover and then give them clues to help them find it. This week’s Family Dare will be to complete this challenge for your student. Who doesn’t love a scavenger hunt that ends with a kind note?

Have a great week, Sakai!
Drew
