LOMOND VISITORS
As you are all aware, Shaker Schools welcomes parents into our schools to volunteer, help in the classroom or even just to observe. It is important, however, that we are aware at all times (even when walking your child into school) of all visitors to Lomond. Please be sure at all times to check in at the school office and to sign
IN
and
OUT
when visiting Lomond School. Thank you.

The Energy Bus
On Tuesday of this week, we held our Energy Bus all-school assembly. As we did last year, we are using the
Energy Bus
book as a guide to encourage a positive outlook in our students. For the next few weeks, I will present the ‘Rules of the Bus’ as told in Jon Gordon’s
The Energy Bus for Kids
book. Thank you to Ms. McCauley, our Assistant Principal, and our PBIS team (Ms. Billie, Ms. Folkman, Ms. Hammer, Ms. Gainford, Mrs. Marencik & Ms. Sullivan) for re-‘energizing’ this program!
Rule #1: Create a Positive Vision
“When you are on the bus going to school, think about having a great day. When you are on the bus going home, picture yourself having a great night. When you think about your future, imagine yourself accomplishing your goals and dreams … if you can see it, you can create it. If you have a vision, then you also have the power to make it happen.”
We all need to think positive thoughts, even children. Many children are naturally optimistic and hopeful. But sometimes children need to make a conscious effort to be positive. We want to teach our students that if they can envision it, it can happen. Our parents can help in this effort by discussing their child’s vision for the day or the evening. Help your child to imagine getting an A on a quiz. Help him/her to envision scoring a goal or a homerun. Help them to envision getting a good rest and waking up happy and ready to take on the day. Try it for yourself and see how it works!
