Howdy, Tiger Families! 

We want to wish each of you a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break. We are so grateful for our students and the incredible support you provide at home. We hope the coming days bring you time to relax, recharge, and enjoy special moments with family and friends. Thank you for being such an important part of our CSE community. We are thankful for you!

• A HUGE THANK YOU to the PTA and all of our generous families for all that you contributed to our Jump for Cypress Fundraiser! Our community has raised $79,321.00 and is still accepting donations through the weekend! We had a BLAST celebrating at our Friday Assembly today!  Pies in Faces! Turkey Steve! SLIME! Soooo much fun! 

• We also collected a total of 286 coats for Coats for Kids 🧥!!!! Way to go Cypress!!! 

• The end of the semester is upon us, and the holidays are quickly approaching! Check out this newsletter created by our DSISD LMHP Team to learn how you can support your children and manage the stress of the holidays together.

• Inclusive Schools week is Dec. 1-5.  As students learn that each person has something unique and important to offer in school, we encourage families to join in at home. Check out this flyer for at-home activities.

🐯 This week’s tip: A Family Thankfulness Project!

Thanksgiving break is a great time to slow down and connect as a family. Try creating a Thankfulness Journal or Gratitude Jar together. Each day, have every family member write or draw something they’re grateful for—big or small—and add it to the journal or jar. Kids practice writing, reflecting, and expressing ideas clearly, while families build meaningful conversations around gratitude. At the end of the break or on Thanksgiving, read the notes together and celebrate the moments that made your week special.
