January 2019

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ~Mark Twain

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Kindness Matters!"

 Jefferson Township is participating in the Great Kindness Challenge from January 28 - February 1

January is Holocaust Remembrance Month.

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” ― Elie Wiesel

As we enter January I would like to remind parents/guardians of a few items. Please remember….

• That children go outside for recess as long as temperatures are around 32 degrees (or above) and it is not raining. We have noticed a lot of students that do not have appropriate clothing for colder temperatures. Please make sure your child has a coat, gloves, and long pants with them.
• Children that are not taking buses in the morning should not be dropped off to school prior to 8:20 and must be dropped off no later than 8:35
• To check the Parent Portal regularly. In addition to the “Gradebook”, I would ask you to please check the “Food Services” tab. Information on account balances, as well as recent purchases, can be found here.

Upcoming Events:

January 8- Early Closing (1:20 PM) Day for Students- Faculty PD

January 21- Martin Luther King Jr. Day- No School

January 28- February 1- Great Kindness Challenge Week (Different Activities and Clothing Theme Each Day)

Stanlick School celebrated Red Ribbon Week!

The third grade attended an assembly by Jack Elsmore to teach them about the bad effects of cigarettes. All grades received Halloween safety tips from Officer Hale. Following this, the fourth grade learned about drug, alcohol, and tobacco use by playing Family Feud with Officer Hale and Officer Davis. The fifth grade watched a program by the Morris County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit. Sheriff Officers Carbon and VanValen along with their partners Willie and Django visited. After this presentation, the fifth graders released environmentally friendly balloons with their pledges to remain drug free. Mrs. Wilsusen from the Jefferson Township Municipal Alliance recited the pledge for the students before they released them. Stanlick thanks the PTA for arranging all of these events. We also thank Mrs. Wilsusen, Mr. Elsmore, Jefferson Police Officers Hale and Davis, Sheriff Officers Carbone and VanValen, and especially Sherrif Officers Willie and Django.
