Dear Parents/Guardians:

In honor of Fire Prevention Week, the Nanuet Fire department paid a visit to George Miller today.  Our kindergarten and preschool students enjoyed learning outside by the fire truck and then climbing into the fire truck to explore.  First and second graders  (and myself!) learned about EDITH - Emergency Drills in the Home.  Mr. Leonard and Mr. Maloney spoke with the students about fire safety.  The Nanuet Fire Department invites the community to stop for a visit on Sunday, October 13th from 12- 3 pm.  There will be bouncy castles, popcorn and more the little ones.   Thank you to all the volunteer fire fighters that came today and to all who keep our community safe. 

Our first graders took a walk over to the old schoolhouse,located in front Barr Middle School as part of their social studies curriculum, studying Then and Now.  

The character ed word of the month for October is RESPONSIBILITY.   Our quote is "The time is always right to do what is right". Mrs. Weiss and Ms. Lipson have been focusing on teaching our students how to 'Go to Another game' to resolve small conflicts using Kelso choices.  A copy of the choice wheel is included in our digital backpack this week.  Feel free to print it and display on the fridge. 

Please remember to return your bus contract whether you child rides the bus daily or not.  They will take the bus for class trips so we want to be sure they are aware of the BUS rules.  Letters were sent home to the people who have not returned them yet. 

Check out the Nanuet Community Bulletin for a list of fun weekend activities.  Enjoy your extended weekend! 

Sincerely,

Maryellen Griffin

Principal
