I was in the front parking area and a parent drove up to me on Friday and said she needed to speak with me. I walked up to her window and she declared emphatically that "Mr. Amos needs a paw pride. I just love that man." She went on to tell me about an interaction she watched that morning. A young boy was walking up to the school and Amos told the boy to pull over and then he proceeded to help him tie his shoe. Another boy questioned Amos on why he was doing that and that the boy didn't ask for help. Amos told him the second child that sometimes you just have to do the right thing to help a friend and that you shouldn't have to always be asked before doing the right thing. I know so many of you already know how wonderful Amos is but I am constantly struck on how he stands as a powerful example of what being a tremendous educator and good human should be all about. Whether someone is a parent, teacher, principal, or support staff, we all have a unique opportunity to

Hi everyone, A couple of mid-week updates. First, there is some confusion about Royal Dance. The Royal Dance company has been on site all week working with all of our students. This year, the schedule given to us by FSUSD, has been abbreviated. This means we won't have a day for a performance. The Dance company did tell students today that they could invite parents to the grade level practice tomorrow (if weather permits). If you are interested, please stop by and check into the main office. Also, the letter sent out with our students of the month was incorrect. The lunch for students of the month is this Friday, April 7th and not Thursday, April 6th. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for everything, ST

Good morning CHE. The photo above is of an injured juvenile owl found on campus this morning. Our kindergarten students have named the owl Barney Sparkle Brooster (not my idea!). It has since been picked up by the local bird rescue and is being treated. I will keep you updated if I hear anything additional. I hope you had a terrific weekend. I saw so many photos of busy CHE kids at baseball, birthday parties, the beach, and beyond. I love that so much of our student body stays so active over the weekend. Some important updates and announcements: Honor Roll : Congratulations to our many 4th and 5th grade honor roll students. I enjoyed recognizing so many students at the assembly. Thanks to the many parents for coming to support our students on that day! I know it isn't always possible to make it to the campus and so it is nice to see such a large showing of parents here! Testing Schedule : State testing is nearly upon us. SBAC testing will take place starting April 24th an
