PTA Yearbook orders
This week a paper order form went home with all students. If you already ordered and paid for your yearbook on your PTA account, you do not need to send in this form. This would duplicate your order. But if you haven’t ordered one yet, the order can be done with the paper form or you can go on line to your PTA account to order and pay for it. The deadline for all yearbook orders and payment is March 29, 2019.
Whole Child Success
We can’t wait to spread our “orange” and really delve into the Happiness Advantage principles throughout the upcoming months. To kick start January, our students and staff will be participating in “Camp Happy” on Monday, 1/14/19. On page 77 in your Orange Frog Family Reading Guide, there are the 5 Happiness Tactics and Habits outlined. They include “3 Gratitudes”, “The Doubler”, “The Fun 15”, “Meditation” and “Conscious Acts of Kindness”. We have been learning about these in our classrooms and during our SEL lessons throughout the year. On Monday, we will have the opportunity to participate in station rotations, where students and staff with participate in these important tactics and habits. We know that practicing and reflecting about what these mean in our lives can be powerful. Please take some time to discuss these with your children. We look forward to continuing our positive energy in January. We love to tweet @ #happycampi or check out our Facebook page highlighting our work.
PTA Reflections Program Update
Congratulations to all of the Campanelli artists who participated in the 2018-2019 National PTA Reflections program this year. Campanelli had a variety of amazing artistic entries ranging from Literature, Photography and Visual Arts. The entries depicted this year’s theme, “Heroes Around Us.” We had 13 participants submit 18 entries all of which advanced to the Schaumburg Township Council level and were displayed in a viewing along with all 246 projects submitted through School District 54.
Of the 18 entries advancing to the Township level, six were chosen to advance to the Northwest Cook County Region/District 37. In January, these projects will be judged for possible advancement to the state level. We are so proud to be part of a community which encourages the arts and creativity in our students; and are fortunate to have an abundance of students who make the time to carry out their artistic passions.
Once projects are returned to Campanelli, we will display them for some time in the LRC. You may also view photographs of the projects on the Reflections bulletin board outside the LRC.

District 54 Cold Weather Response Plan
In order to help parents better prepare for the severe cold weather and snow we often get during winters in our community, I wanted to share with you the District 54 Severe Cold Weather Response Plan. Though District 54 makes every effort to keep our schools open and operational, circumstances beyond our control oftentimes dictate school closings.
Dressing for Recess Reminder
We are entering the winter season! Please encourage your child to wear the proper outerwear for the change in weather. We want them to enjoy recess with their friends, stay comfortable in the chilly/wet weather and remain safe outside.
The Connection of Positive Psychology
Prior to the beginning of this school year, the Campanelli staff shared a shorter version of the Orange Frog parable based on the foundations of the Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor. At the beginning of this school year, Campanelli families received a copy of The Orange Frog Family Reading Guide. This year we are bringing The Happiness Advantage to life at Campanelli School by focusing on the different happiness habits. You can refer to page 77 in your Orange Frog Family Reading Guide to learn more about all of the Happiness Tactics & Habits. Our staff is working closely with students in each grade level to connect our Social Emotional Learning standards and the principles of positive psychology as outlined in the Happiness Advantage.
In November we will be focusing on practicing gratitude and mindfulness with meditation. Our Happiness Committee is dedicated to ensuring a home-school connection with this work. For example, look for a calendar coming home to discuss with your child these important learning opportunities.
Did you know that our PAWSativity Club is in full swing? Ask your child if the students have spread some happiness to their classrooms yet. The power of positive psychology, mindfulness and gratitude couldn’t be more relevant and interconnected in our daily lives. We thank you for your support.
