It’s
November and Almost Thanksgiving…….
When I look down the hallways in LaSalle School all I see are lines and lines of canned goods, boxed foods, jars of yummy things, but when I look closer I see tiny little fingerprints all over each container. The fingerprints of boys and girls who only know that they bring cans to school because some other boy or girl needs it. They don’t understand why, they don’t understand the reason a family might need help at holiday time; all they know is that they want to help. They want to give. They want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. This is truly evident in the newspaper article from the Saturday edition of the Peoria Journal Star showing how our students really care about their community. Our kids, right now, are the spirit of human kindness that many of us count on each year to make it through the holiday season. Along with this giving spirit, I think I am seeing change happening in the Creve Coeur School District. I see happiness. I see kindness. I see joy. I see laughter. I see caring and compassion. I am seeing these traits in our schools! I know they have always been here. But, little by little, I am seeing these characteristics emerging in our School District again. But, I want to ask you to practice happiness, kindness, laughter, joy, compassion and caring in your home. So, to continue our progress, I want to see you encouraging your children to practice happiness, kindness, laughter, joy, compassion and caring at home and at school. While I am not sure, there just might even be research showing that happy children perform better in school. How great would that be, if we could show a link to our achievement, as was discussed in the other newspaper article from Saturday’s edition of the Peoria Journal Star, due to happy kids doing better on the State tests. Wouldn’t that be some great evidence for educators—Have a happy classroom, get better test scores!!! At this time of holiday spirit, I am so thankful that I am around little ones again. They show the true heart and soul of the holidays (each and every holiday that anyone might acknowledge, practice, or observe). And most certainly, it is the children who have their tiny little fingerprints on those cans of food and our hearts. So, from me to you, I wish happiness, kindness, laughter, joy, compassion and caring, for you and your family. Shayne (Just Shayne this time, not Superintendent Aldridge, just Shayne) RECENT ARTICLES

ANNOUNCEMENTS
LaSalle School is doing some repairs to the garbage and recycling station in the parking lot. We are asking everyone to take note of some traffic and dismissal changes. First, We are requesting that no one drive into the back parking lot. You will notice that the cones in the lot have changed their position to accommodate this. Also, ALL parent pick up students will be dismissed from the 4th grade doors. We ask that you be patient with us as this may take a few minutes longer. If you have any questions, please call us at 698-3605.
The next Board of Education meeting will be the Board's December Regular Meeting to be held on December 17, 2013, at 5:30PM (PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE) which was done to accommodate the LaSalle Elementary School Winter Musical.
