Message from the Principal
Hello OSW Families, Another exciting week at Oswegatchie! Our three Amazing Shake finalists did a wonderful job during their segment on CT Style on WTNH Channel 8. Check out the segment here: https:// www.wtnh.com/ct-style/finalists-of-the-amazingshake-program-share-their-journey/1761680447 Well done and we are proud of you! The Basket Raffle and Ice Cream Social is tonight, so come out and try your luck at some truly overflowing baskets! Our showing of “Inside Out� was a great connection to Zones of Regulation. Our Second Step lessons are moving along as well. All grade levels have completed units on Skills for Learning which include focusing attention and identifying their own feelings. Grade levels are currently learning about Empathy and Emotion Management. Teacher feedback on the initiative has been positive, and I certainly have seen progress in the ways students are able to talk about how they are feeling and how to correct themselves after a mistake. I am happy to announce that we have received an integrated arts grant from the State of Connecticut. With the additional help of our OSO, we will be able to fund artist residencies for each grade level. Stay tuned for what to expect at each grade level. We have a lot more great things coming up this year, but I will save those for future newsletters. Keep up the great work, and thanks for such awesome kids!
