Hello to the amazing Vestal hive!

Happy Thursday- YUP, it is Thursday again!!!

Tomorrow is Spirit day, Spinny Wheel day and the Fresh Food Market!!

What a fun week…not sure what is in the air, but the kids said some really funny things this week! It was a terrific reminder of how THANKFUL I am to work with your kids every day. Just today a kid gave me a high five on his way out and said, with confidence, “Ms. Sabrina, I just farted!” What other jobs is that age appropriate and just delightful??

As we enter a week without students, please know all of our staff will miss your children! We all hope you each are able to enjoy the week together and with family.

We will look forward to seeing folks come in to meet with teachers for conferences! If you have not signed up for a day/time, PLEASE check in with your child’s teacher tomorrow!!

Tomorrow- Friday Nov. 20th is Movie Night!!!! Come join us to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters!!

Successful Schools Survey!

Vestal has had 34 folks fill out this survey! My goal is to get to 100! Please take a few minutes to fill out if you can….it is truly helpful feedback!

Hello families,

We’ve just begun our soccer unit in PE! Students are practicing key skills such as dribbling with control, passing to a partner, and aiming their kicks safely and accurately. We are also focusing on teamwork, spacing, and playing safely during small-sided games.

The kids are already showing great effort and enthusiasm—ask your child to show you how they can trap and pass the ball!

With conferences coming up on Monday and Tuesday next week, I’ll be in my office in the gym both days. Please feel free to stop by and say hi whenever you have a moment—I hope to be in when you come by!

Sincerely,
Mr. McCaffrey
