WILDCAT NEWS FOR WILSON CREEK FAMILIES

Wilson Creek Wildcats are Courteous

“Where Knowledge Flows and Learning Grows”

Text Box: Dear Wilson Creek Family, I enjoyed seeing you all at curriculum nights. The school year is off to a great start! Just a reminder, if you would like to be nominated for our LSAC, please email me before September 9. Enjoy your Labor Day holiday. Fulton County has released a Mathematics Curriculum Guide for parents. If you would like to review this guide, please visit the “FYI” section of the Fulton County’s website at www.fultonschools.org. From Our Counseling Department: Fill Someone’s Bucket with Courtesy! Courtesy is polite behavior, gesture or remark. This week we practiced “filling each other’s bucket” by being nice to each other, being considerate of other’s feelings, and showing respect. WORDS It's easy to be kind when your life seems more like play We gladly find the special words to brighten someone's day. But, if we're sad or angry and life doesn't seem worthwhile Unkind words can slip right out and take away a smile. Bucket fillers always try to watch what they say They want to fill buckets with loving kindness every day. And when they do, they find that life looks bright once more   Because what you give comes back to you like waves upon the shore. by Glenny Merillat, Plymouth, MI IMPORTANT Beginning in September, the Wildcat News newsletter will only be available through our email system.
