1 . Any day of the school year is a great day for an event! Here are some.

Opening Weeks

Many schools use the opening weeks of school as the occasion for holding special Pastries for Parents' Day. Since Grandparents' Day is celebrated in, September, this month is also a great time to hold a Goodies for Grandparents event or a Grandparents BBQ. Principal Donnette McNeill-Waters says, “We have also called this event Doughnuts for Dad in a specific attempt to get more fathers involved.”

Native American Museum Night

November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month: With that in mind, wouldn't this month be the perfect time to focus student learning and a special parent night on the heritage of Native Americans? The students prepare projects related to a tribe of their choices. Those projects integrate history with language arts, communication, and presentation skills.

Holiday Spectacular

December is a busy month for everybody. But what would the holidays be without the annual holiday concert? Meanwhile, the local nursing homes or homeless shelters will be considered. Take the show on the road and share the good will. A cash donation that will be turned over to the local organizations is also a good choice.

Reading at Home

The event requires children to log their reading books and hours. It lasts for several months and culminates in the Reading at Home evening at school. It invites guest readers, like local officials, police officers and firemen, retired teachers to read from their favorite books for students. It also creates themed settings for read-aloud guests.

7 . A-Z OF COACHING

Welcome to Barefoot Coaching’s A-Z series. We aim to simplify what might otherwise be complex psychological theories and models and talk about them in a way that anybody can understand. We believe that everybody benefits from learning about and practising coaching skills - and it’s catching! Coaching spreads into other areas of our life and work and the positive effects are felt far beyond just ourselves. Each issue we will be focusing on a different element of coaching. Last month we explored Happiness, this month we will focus on Intuition.

‘I’ IS FOR INTUITION

“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” Rumi

If you have ever followed a “hunch”, gone with your gut, listened to your inner voice, or felt “I just know”, then you have accessed your intuition. We don’t have to reject logic or intellect to embrace intuition -good decisions are often the result of instinct and intellect working together. Here are 3 ways to improve your intuition:

● Wild writing. Every day for a week, sit quietly and write for 5 minutes without thinking. Just let the words appear on the page. Then notice what you learn from your untamed thoughts.
● Walking without purpose. Go for a walk (without your phone or others distractions). Take notice if you find your attention being drawn to any particular sights or sounds. Identify what feelings, thoughts or meaning they have for you.
● When faced with a decision, ask yourself “What does my head, heart and gut say?”
