Hello!

***Just a reminder that SBACC is collecting boxes to make busy boxes for the dogs to give them intellectual stimulation while in the kennels!—(cereal, cracker, kleenex, toilet paper rolls, butter boxes, deodorant boxes, and any other small to medium sized cardboard boxes!). Thanks!!

With the summer coming to an end in the next month or so, many of us (teachers included) will go through varying transitions; leaving to go to another school, leaving/saying good to a friend, or saying goodbye to an environment that has been consistent.

“In caring for children, one thing you can be certain of is change. To change means to transition: changing from one state, stage, place, or subject to another.”

A couple interesting articles on this topic—>
