Hope you all had a wonderful fall break. Everyone seems to be getting back in the routine, their minds are eager and alert! I have been watching kindergartners rolling with laughter over a good book, first graders enjoying centers, third graders defeating the “monster math” creature, and fourth graders learning about the French and the Dutch! There is lots of studying going on, and I’m enjoying seeing all of our students participating and learning!
Our third graders will be leading our chapel service next week (October 27th)! We can't wait to hear what the Lord is putting on their hearts to share with us. If you want to know who is speaking in chapel, be sure to click on the "Chapel Speaker" tab each week!
You will see the reminder below about Spirit Night next Thursday, but I wanted to let you all know that the students can wear jeans and an Ezell t-shirt to school that day in honor of this event. That way, when you and your family head to Chick-Fil-A to eat, you will be in school spirit!
The annual food drive in which the Elementary participates is December 5-9. You will be receiving more information on this opportunity very soon. The collections will benefit New Heights Christian Community Service.
Some REMINDERS FROM LAST WEEK’s BLOG…I know many of you had headed out with big plans for fall break, so just in case you didn't get the chance to read the blog, here are some important highlights from last week’s post.
I would like to remind you all that school does start promptly at 7:45 a.m. Students are tardy if they are not in class when the bell rings. Our teachers get started first thing, as to not to waste a minute of instructional time, so please be understanding and considerate of all their hard work and have your child at school on time. We understand that unavoidable circumstances sometimes occur, resulting in late arrivals, but it is important that tardies are as infrequent as possible. Students can easily get behind and be embarrassed if they are continually late. Thank you so much for helping us on this matter! Your child’s education is very important to us!
Another item to discuss is our dress code. Most of the time, everyone is following the handbook guidelines. We just want to continue to have uniformity among the student body and the whole school. As a school, we will be addressing these violations with a phone call, and a form will be sent home when this happens. Please be aware of the basic colors that students are allowed to wear and use the handbook as your guide. Help us be unified as a school, and thank you again for supporting us in this matter.
**BOX TOPS** WE HAVE 1 WEEK till we turn in our first box tops order. Our goal is 6,000 box tops. If the entire elementary helps us reach this goal, then we will have a “Crazy Hat” day the following week. We are going to have a huge thermometer on the front window that will measure our ongoing progress till the February turn-in date. We will update the thermometer once a month in chapel, so that we can see our progress. We will still reward the top two classes in February, but for now, our focus is to collect as many box tops as we can by Oct. 28th. So cut, clip, and bring them in!! If you have over fifty box tops please bundle them in groups of fifty, but if you don’t have that many, then PLEASE send in what you have! Thank you for helping our school!Don’t Forget …
SPIRIT NIGHT at Chick-Fil-A!! On October 27th from 5-8 p.m. we will be eating at Chick-Fil-A in Smyrna! The PTO is putting this night together to earn money for our school.

The class with the highest percentage participation will receive a prize!
