| Monday Minute Dear Parents,Altara will be starting a Box Top program soon. Watch for a flyer to come home with instructions on how to participate. You no longer need to cut off Box Tops from certain grocery items. Now there is an app to scan your receipt, and it finds the appropriate items that count towards the program. We appreciate your support!

Here are some examples of kindness happening at our school these past couple of weeks. We have the best students! James Wimmer (5th grade) This week James W. has shown outstanding kindness in our classroom. He consistently offers help to his classmates without being asked, making sure everyone feels good. Ivy Shields (5th grade) Ivy is a great example of kindness. During class, she’s kind to her classmates during paperwork. She shows kindness by listening actively! Maya Taku (5th grade) Maya stepped up without being asked to fill in for a missing team member on safety patrol. Genevieve Bowe (kindergarten) Genevieve works hard to make friends with others. She always looks for a friend to play with at recess. Ryan Harrison (kindergarten) Ryan shares the supplies at this table. He helps me clean up too. He is my special helper. Manuel Jimenez Miranda (5th grade) Manuel is a great friend to his classmates. At our field trip to Camp Tracy, he always made sure his buddy was okay and having fun. Damian Oyanadel (5th grade) For always treating others with respect! Thank you for being thoughtful and always willing to share a smile. Thank you for making our classroom a better place.
