💙 National Bullying Prevention Month

October is National Bullying Prevention Month!

At Sam Johnson Elementary, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, respected, included, and valued. This month, we are encouraging our students to stand up for kindness and help create a school community where everyone belongs.

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Encourage your child to:

• 💙 Include others and make everyone feel welcome.

• 💙 Use kind and respectful words.

• 💙 Stand up for someone who may need a friend.

• 💙 Speak up and tell a trusted adult if they see or experience bullying.

• 💙 Be a positive role model for others.

Together, we can make a difference by choosing kindness, compassion, and respect—not just in October, but every day.

Let's make Sam Johnson Elementary a place where everyone feels like they belong! 💙

🏆 National Coaches Day-October 6th

Happy National Coaches Day!

Today, we celebrate the coaches who inspire, encourage, and support our students both on and off the field. Coaches do so much more than teach skills and lead teams—they help students learn the importance of teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, confidence, and good sportsmanship.

We are grateful for the time, energy, and dedication our coaches give to our students. Thank you for being positive role models, cheering our students on, celebrating their successes, and encouraging them to keep going when things get challenging.

Thank you, Coach Groff and Coach Sandy for helping our students become All-Stars! ⭐

We appreciate everything you do for our students and our school community!

Happy National Coaches Day! 🏆💙

Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month! 🌎

From September 15 to October 15, our school community proudly celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month! This month-long celebration honors the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and incredible contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

The celebration begins on September 15 because it marks the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, followed closely by Mexico and Chile.

We encourage our families to share their stories and traditions with us as we celebrate the diverse voices that enrich our school every day!
