THE PRINCIPAL CANDIDATES WERE INTERVIEWED BY THE STAFF 1-12-2023 Teachers met with two of the three candidates on Thursday afternoon after school let out. Link to 5 Pictures. THE SCHOOL STORE The store is managed by the Voyagers as a real-life business and math-related project. It has proven extremely popular among students this year. They look forward to their scheduled turn to visit the store and are disappointed if the inventory runs low. Interestingly, in the recent student interviews with the principal candidates, one student asked how principal candidates would ensure that the store would not run out of popular items if they were hired. |

BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY Have you set a goal for yourself in the new year? January is a great time to make a resolution and this month we will be highlighting books in our library that focus on goal setting and growth.  When young Greta learned of the climate crisis, she stopped talking. She couldn't understand why people in power were not doing anything to save our Earth. One day she started protesting outside the Swedish Parliament, creating the 'School Strike for Climate'. Soon, lots more young people joined her in a global movement that shook adults and politicians alike. She had found her voice and uses it to inspire humans to action with her powerful message: "No one is too small to make a difference." This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the climate activist's life.  Everyone knows that when Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. But what happened after? Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's poignant tale follows Humpty Dumpty, an avid bird watcher whose favorite place to be is high up on the city wall―that is, until after his famous fall. Now terrified of heights, Humpty can longer do many of the things he loves most. Will he summon the courage to face his fear? |
