PES:  Building good Character in a Bully-Free Work Zone!

You will need your toolbelt/toolbox this year at PES!  Here are a few suggestions for tools to ensure a successful year…..

Backpack:  This is essentially your toolbox.  It will hold most of the tools you need for success and get them efficiently from home to school and then back home.  Make sure you get a sturdy one and put your name in it so it doesn’t get lost.

Planner:  You’ll get this the first day of school.  Write in it everyday to make sure you don’t forget events or assignments.  Remember to have to have someone at home sign it every night!

Lunchbox:  Many kids don’t have a lunchbox.  That’s OK as long as you know how important it is to eat a good breakfast and a good lunch.  Your body runs on fuel, just like a car runs on gasoline.  If your car is out of gas, it doesn’t run – if your body is out of fuel, it’s hard to run, think or even stay awake.  Whether you bring your lunch or eat the school’s lunch – the important thing is EAT!  Fuel your body with lots of fruits, vegetables, and other foods that are good for you.

Alarm Clock:  If you don’t have an alarm clock, put one on your shopping list for back to school.  School is your job right now and everyone knows, it’s bad to be late for work!  Practice setting your own alarm and waking up on your own.  Make it your goal to attend school every day and not be tardy, even once. 

These are just a few of the tools you will need for success at PES.  We’ll be looking for you on August 15 – enjoy the rest of your summer!
