An Amazing Week...

Wow! We are so proud of our 33 Terrific Ticket winners this past week! We are committed to excellence, and honoring them today in chapel is a way to show how committed these students are to making the right choices. Way to go students (see Terrific Ticket tab)!! Thank you, Pete Sullivan, for your wonderful lesson this morning, and I believe our students will remember to do those 4 things for homework!!

New on the Blog:
**This week, under the Eagle News tab, you will find pictures of the latest activities/happenings in our building. You will see the 4th grade cheerleaders and football players in action, as well as the boy scout meeting and the puppet show the preschoolers got to attend last week.
**Under the NEW TAB, "Work/Friend", you will find photos of students' work as well as random photos of friends. They love being together, and we try to consistently instill in them a love for one another. Check out the photos, and there will be more to come!
    **On the right side, you will now see 3 links you can click, and I just wanted you to be aware of them. You can keep up with our chapel speakers and the newsletters that go out to all 3 schools each month! Also,  you can find new "Dinner Discussion" questions there: check them out and vote! Martin Luther King Jr. and Walt Disney tied on the vote for the historic person you would like to meet most, and Nobel Prize was the winner in the other poll!! **You will also find a link to the school's website, and very soon, under the "Elementary" section of the school's website, you will find a link there to my blog/newsletter.

--"Pal" Time is going really well. I have enjoyed being in the classroom, as I mentioned last week, and I encourage you to ask your child about the story.  It was a good lesson about a king who reacted out of anger. It shows how we should take a step back before we let our tempers dictate our actions and get us in trouble like the king. 


--Open House Tuesday, September, 13th from 5-7 p.m.
--Picture Day Wednesday, September, 14th.
