Hemmi Road •We are Responsible •We are Respectful Everson, WA 98247 360.398.2111 •We are Safe •We are Kind http://www.meridian.wednet.edu/ire Hello IRE Families, I am so excited that we are entering November. The first six weeks of school are focused on build- ing relationships and helping our students settle back into school with routines and rituals. This month we have had exciting events (Spirit Week, Trojan Trot, Principals being Slimed, Snuggle Up and Read) and it is wonderful to hear the joy that fills the halls. Our community has changed and continues to grow and with that comes the ability to learn from one another and celebrate the di- versity. Next week is October 31st and some families may participate in Halloween, Dia De Los Muertos or Diwali. We are asking that holidays be celebrated with your family outside of school. Please don't send your children to school in costumes or attire that would not otherwise be worn to school. Thank you for helping Irene your children Reither learn about Elementary our differences andSchool celebrate what makes us a wonderfully unique community. November is a wonderful month to be at IRE. We will get to learn from you and share with you at parent teacher conferences. It's also a time where we can press a bit more on what our students can do because they now know our routines and expectations. Thank you for continuing to inform me about things that are going well and wonders you have about our work to best support the children of IRE. It's truly a place where learning thrives because together we can do anything!

Have you heard of the Star Park in Ferndale? That park was designed to be an inclusive playground where all children can find joy. The designers of that park collaborated with children from Ferndale to design that special place. Laurel is about to get our own inclusive playground! The Northside Com- munity Church has a large property that they are turning into an inclusive playground that will be open to the public and a place where all of our students can play. They asked us to partner by hav- ing our students help design the playground! Earlier this month packets were passed out to stu- dents. Students were invited to draw a picture of what their ideal playground would look like. The playground designer flew in to town and met with teachers and students to talk about their ideas. As we get more information about when the park will open we will be sure to share it with our families.
