FALL BOOK FAIR – SHOP ONLINE UNTIL NOV. 16
Thank you to everyone who has supported our Book Fair! Online shopping is still available until November 16th, so there’s still time to browse and support our school!

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE DAY CELEBRATION 
Thank you to our local Tribes and organizations for creating such a special and educational day for our students, and a huge thank you to our student dancers! Our students had an amazing experience learning about Native American culture and participating in various traditions. We are grateful for your dedication and hard work in making this day so memorable for our students!

CANNED FOOD DRIVE – NOV. 17 - 21 
Next week, we’re collecting non-perishable canned and boxed goods to support local families through the Kelseyville Food Bank. You can send donations with your child or drop them off at the office. The class that brings in the most donations will win a pizza party, and second place will enjoy a popcorn party! Thank you for helping us give back to our community!

NOVEMBER FOOD RESOURCES 
We want to remind families that all KVUSD students will continue to have access to free meals at school each day. If your family is in need of food assistance for your children during Fall Break, please reach out to your school counselor so they can help connect you with available support. For a list of local food resources available in November, click here.

COUNSELOR’S CORNER 
Happy November! While the holidays can be exciting, they can also be a little overwhelming for students — so here are a few simple ways families can support their students:

  • Build Routines: During holiday breaks, keep a consistent bedtime and daily routine. This helps students feel secure and confident in their return to school.
  • Practice Gratitude: Ask your student to share one thing they're thankful for each day. You can start a "gratitude jar" and read the notes together at the end of the month.
  • Give Back Together: Volunteer as a family, donate gently used items, or make cards for neighbors or community helpers.
  • Keep Learning Alive: Encourage reading, journaling, or hands-on learning activities (like cooking or simple science experiments). It keeps their brains active in fun ways!

 Let's celebrate moments together, such as reading, sharing a meal, and talking about our day. It's the little things that make a big difference in a child's life. Below are a few great Gratitude books you and your student can enjoy reading together:
