We have just finished a very busy week at Brigadoon:

Monday, we began our week with our new mindful practice.  Please ask your son or daughter to tell you all about our morning ‘Bear Pause’!  This week, we connected our ‘Bear Pause’ to support our growth mindset and being open to new learning.  Next week, each ‘Bear Pause’ will focus on respect.  Our goal is to support student well-being while connecting it to character development and learning.  Encouraging ourselves and our students to ‘pause’ and consider our word choices and actions and even our approach to learning can go a long way!

Our 2, first fall fire drills happened this week and we were highly successful!  More than 600 students and all staff exited the building quickly and safely and were all accounted for within just a few minutes.

We had our first tornado drill as well and we were very impressed at how quickly and safely our students responded.  Before the end of the month, we will be having one more fire drill (and that is the last one then until the spring).  We will also let you know when we are ready to complete our lockdown drill for this fall.

Enjoy the harvest moon!
