Hello Parents,
Tonight is our big musical performance, 1st – 3rd grade Showcase. Miss Chamberlain has worked very hard to put together this special night. Please come out and show your support this evening at 6:00 p.m. (Performers need to be here by 5:30)
This afternoon, the rest of the elementary got to see our 1st – 3rd grade friends perform their dress rehearsal. It was amazing! Our students showed how talented they were in music. Our first grade started with the song, “Oh, My Aunt Came Back,” which had several soloists. They also sang “Peas Porridge Hot” while doing a circle dance and playing the Orff instruments. It was fantastic! The second graders sang and performed motions to a fun piece called “The Donut Song,” and they played different kinds of percussion instruments while chanting “The Robot Band.” I was really impressed with their focus and determination. Our third grade friends beautifully sang and played in a three-part round the song “Scotland Burning.” Finally, they danced, sang, and played the Orff instruments in the finale “Da Da Da Da Da Bomp!” I was amazed and very proud of all our students! I can’t wait to see the exciting final performance tonight.
Tomorrow is our last dress – up day for Homecoming week, and it is very fitting that it is "crazy red and white" day. Go bananas with our school colors! Remember, NO HAIR DYE or FACE PAINT. The students have looked fantastic this week in their "dress to impress" and "tacky" attire. *I have placed ALL NEW pictures under each grade – level tab. Check them out and e-mail me if you would like a copy!
Also, tomorrow our report cards will be e-mailed out at 3:00 p.m.
I would like to make mention of a new event in which our elementary friends will get to participate this year. On October 26, we are going to have our first Vocabulary Costume Parade. The event all began with the book Miss Alaineus (which Mrs. Bebout is going to read to our classes in the library.) This book is a delightful story about words and definitions, in which a young girl participates in her school's annual vocabulary costume parade. Our own parade is going to be a wonderful way to celebrate words and reading, as well as provide a fun time of dressing up – always a childhood favorite!

Please let me know if you would like to buy one; (the new order is supposed to be in today or tomorrow.) Thank you for your patience! We appreciate your support!
Next week is Fall Break. I cannot believe it is already upon us! I encourage you to take some time off of work and spend time with your families. I heard it said once, "Love your family. Spend time, be kind, and serve one another. Make no room for regrets. Tomorrow is not promised, and today is short." So do what you need to do, but even if you can only take one day off, try to use that time enjoy a movie night, go out to eat, have a game night at home, go for a family walk, ride bikes together, or share some fun activity with loved ones. Life is short, and we are blessed by God with the families and friends we have. I will miss you all, but be safe and have fun! I will see you when I get back from the Dominican Republic! Happy trails!October 16 = Parent Workshop with Jason Foundation at 6:30 p.m.
