Dear Farmin Stidwell families,
Happy November! As we move into this season of gratitude, our classrooms are filled with energy, learning, and connection. It’s been wonderful to see students thriving in their routines and embracing new challenges each week.
With cooler temperatures and shorter days, please continue to send students dressed warmly and ready for the elements. Our lost and found is overflowing with sweatshirts and jackets—feel free to stop by and take a look! We will be donating everything to local thrift stores at the end of the month.
We are looking forward to connecting with you all during Family Conferences, taking place November 17–21. This is a valuable time to celebrate progress, set goals, and strengthen our partnership in supporting each child’s growth. Thank you for taking the time to engage in these important conversations. Watch for a sign up to come from your child's teacher.
In the spirit of giving, we are excited to again participate in Blankets for Hope. Many students will have the opportunity to help assemble cozy blankets and write notes of love and encouragement for individuals and families in need within our community. This meaningful act of kindness is a wonderful way for students to experience the joy of helping others. We are grateful to Mrs. Lorden for bringing this project to us again.
A few reminders for the month ahead:
🦃 No School November 25–29 for Thanksgiving Break
🤝 Family Conferences November 17–21
❄️ Please make sure students are dressed for winter weather
As we pause to reflect on what we’re thankful for, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for our Farmin Stidwell community. Your partnership, encouragement, and care make this school a place where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
With appreciation,
Dr. Betsy Dalessio
Principal, Farmin Stidwell Elementary
