World Down Syndrome Day is Monday, March 21. We are sponsoring a "Rock Your Socks Day" where the students are encouraged to wear colorful socks. This year, the theme is "Lots of Socks" and we are encouraged to "Put Some Color on our Feet".
#LotsOfSocks
Put some color on your feet!
Get noticed and start a conversation about #WorldDownSyndromeDay.
We encourage everyone to wear their "Crazy and Colorful Socks" on Monday. The crazy socks will help us all show our uniqueness as an individual.
We had a "Good News Call" that went out yesterday to 5th grader Hank Veurink. Hank is often observed to be assisting our younger students. He helps them to make good decisions, transition in from recess, and he helps them when they are injured or having a tough day. Hank is an example of a student who notices children in need of assistance and takes the time to stop and help. Thank you for setting a fine example for our littles and thank you for being a daily example of "DTRT or Do The Right Thing". Thanks for being such a great kid, Hank!
The National Honor Society Induction Ceremony has been re-scheduled for Monday, April 18. It will still be at the Lyric Theatre at 7:30 P.M.

On March 2, students around the nation celebrated "Read Across America" on Dr. Seuss's Birthday. Our 1/2 day Kindergarten students celebrated the day with "Green Eggs and Ham". The students reported that they tasted the same as "normal" eggs.....
The Good News Call this week is going out to Kayson Severson. Kayson is observed on a daily basis at school to be a sweet, kind, considerate, and caring person. He is continuously concerned about the feelings of other children around him and displays kindness to everyone at school every day. When something needs to be done, in his classroom, the hallway, the playground, or the lunchroom, he notices and kindly assists the teachers with the task. Yesterday, Kayson brought a special show-and-tell to school, a new light saber. He noticed that a student was having a rough morning. So, he kindly asked the child if he wanted to hold his light saber and to try it out. Because of the kindness shown to him by sweet Kayson, the other child had a wonderful day. (Such an example of a small gesture of kindness truly turning someone else's day around.) Thank you, Kayson, for being such a sweetheart every single day at school!!
The 5th Graders celebrated their "100 Day Homework Challenge" completion. Congratulations to these kids for rising to the challenge and earning the bowling party!
