Dear Fireside Families,
Does anyone else have an overflowing inbox that seems endless? Well, time to consider "stop cues" in our lives to create more space and quality time with others. This is something I shared with staff this week in an effort to support teacher's well-being (as well as my own). What stop cues do we set in our family life in order to ensure time with our children is free from tech distractions? I've definitely been guilty of this and my daughter, Aleah, is the first to remind me, "Mom, you're not being present!" If you'd like to learn more about "stop cues" consider watching Adam Alter's Ted Talk.

School Safety: A friendly reminder that safety is all of our responsibility. Please help by minding the speed limit on Dahlia Street, especially as it nears the ringing of the first bell. Unfortunately, we don't have enough volunteer crossing guards to supervise students crossing and some students assume that cars will stop without watching closely for cars. Please remind your children about safe crossing and be mindful of the school zones. We need crossing guards! If interested, please contact Lori Smith: lsmith8808@gmail.com . What a fun way to connect with kids and be part of our school community!
Community Service at Fireside
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Christ the Servant Church and our Fireside garden volunteers, grounds were cleared of pine needles, pea gravel was added to the picnic table area, and our outdoor classroom looks so inviting! We value your time, service and contributions to Fireside.
As always, thank you for your support and partnership in learning. Hope to see you all tonight at the Jogathon celebration!
Christa Keppler
