Happy Hall @ Taylor Middle | September Newsletter

Director's Message
Happy September Taylor Trailblazer families! I am excited to have met both our new and returning Trailblazers at Taylor Middle School. The beginning of this school year has been a fantastic start, and I’m looking forward to making stronger connections with each of you throughout the year. Here’s to a year full of growth, adventure, and success!


Program Highlights

Engagement Activities
This month, students will embark on an exploration of "Creative Craftsmanship" and "Decade Discovery." In "Creative Craftsmanship," they’ll delve into the art of hands-on creation, honing their skills through various techniques and projects that foster innovation and artistic expression. Meanwhile, "Decade Discovery" will take them on a historical journey, where they’ll investigate the defining cultural, social, and artistic trends of different decades. Through engaging activities and insightful lessons, students will not only enhance their creative abilities but also gain a deeper understanding of how past eras have shaped our world today. Get ready for a month of creativity, learning, and discovery!

Professional Development
Next month we will have a staff development day. All school-age staff from our Millbrae locations will go over classroom management, reviewing health and safety practices, and conduct a general check-in.

Student Achievements
This month we will be starting our “Student of the Week” awards. Each week, we will honor students who demonstrate exceptional behavior and go above and beyond in their efforts. This initiative is designed to recognize and celebrate the hard work, kindness, and positive attitude of our students. We believe that acknowledging these outstanding qualities will inspire continued excellence and foster a supportive and encouraging school environment.

Reminders
This is a friendly reminder to review the Happy Hall policies. Understanding these guidelines helps ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Please notify us if your child will be absent from the program for the day. You can send an email to taylormiddle@happyhall.com, call/text 650.609.1117, or notify us through the 1CORE app.

Lastly, please complete our Walk-Home Authorization Form for the following:
  • If you want your child to walk home after sign-out
  • If you would like for your child to meet you in the parking lot for pick-up
  • If your child will be leaving early/coming in late from an on-campus extracurricular activity

Looking Ahead
Next month, we're diving into the themes of "Food and Nutrition" and "Health and Well-Being." We'll start by uncovering the role of physical fitness and healthy nutrition, exploring how a balanced lifestyle can contribute to holistic well-being. On the other side, we'll delve into the aspects of mental and emotional well-being, focusing on building resilience and practicing mindfulness.
