See us at: www.monroetwp.k12.nj.us *New Jersey requires school buses to have lap belts or other child restraint systems that meet federal standards and certain minimum seat back heights. It requires students to wear a properly adjusted and fastened seat belt while the bus is operating, and relieves school bus owners and operators of liability for a passenger's failure to wear a seat belt if that failure directly results in an injury to the passenger (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 39:3B-10 and § 39:3B-11). MAKE UP PICTURE DAY WILL TAKE PLACE ON JANUARY 7, 2015 – 9:00 AM. Page 2 of 7 "Hats Off" to our Veterans! We raised $930.00 for the GI-Go Fund! “It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” ~ Ralph Emerson Many staff and students showed their appreciation for our veterans by wearing a hat and/or jeans and donating to this very worthy cause. Thank you to the Radix School Community! September/October Gotcha Ticket Winner The Gotcha Ticket winner for September and October was C.J. from Mrs. Gallagher’s class. C.J. earned his ticket by helping make the black top area safe for recess. C.J. chose to have an extra play time for his class. His class really enjoyed playing soccer, dancing and doing gymnastics. Way to go! We are all so proud of C.J. for leading by example. Page 3 of 7 Radix Student Council The Student Council will be collecting new and gently used winter items for the young and old in the month on December. The items will be donated to the Pfeiffer Community Center to be distributed to local community members in need. “Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room.” A more detailed notice will be sent home with students the first week of December. ~Christine Todd Whitman The birthday book club is a way for you to honor your child on his or her birthday by donating a book to the library. If you are interested in participating, contact your librarian to find out what books are available. Once your chosen book has been ordered, a bookplate will be placed on the inside cover with your child’s name, birth date, and photograph. Your child will be the first to check out his or her book, and will be invited to attend an end of the year thank you celebration Page 4 of 7 BOX TOP WINNERS THE COUNTS ARE IN!

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” ~ Lao Tzu Important Message Regarding Recess … Please continue to make sure your child wears proper shoes and jackets. Your children will continue going outside for recess, as the weather progressively gets colder. Often times, some children are not dressed appropriately for the cold conditions. Please be cognizant of the predicted afternoon temperatures as you send your child off to school. It is also advisable to dress them in layers (i.e. t-shirt and sweatshirt or sweater) each day since classroom temperatures vary throughout the building. Children who are uncomfortable because they are too hot or too cold will naturally focus their attention on their uncomfortable feelings, which in turn, affects their ability to focus on learning.
