We will be holding two awards assemblies again this school year. The 3rd and 4th
grade students will have their awards assembly on Thursday, May 31 beginning at 1:45
in our gym. At 1:15 there will be a short assembly for our K-2 students to honor our Lions
Award winners. All parents whose child will be receiving a Lions Award will be notified through the mail.  The 5th grade awards assembly will take place on Tuesday, June 5 beginning with breakfast at 8:45. The 5th grade assembly will involve breakfast for the parents and students and the awards assembly will begin at 9:15.  An R.S.V.P. will be sent home with your child for the 5th grade breakfast. All parents are welcome to attend but
please remember to use our parking lot first before we spill over into the golf course lot. There should be plenty of room in the back of the building and in the grass area before we have to use the golf course. Please understand that not all students will be able to receive an award. Students will be receiving awards for academics, attendance, P.E., art, music, band, orchestra, peer mediators, student council, and safety patrol. Students being
recognized for their academics during the school year will be receiving medals. I understand that it is hard to get off work to attend the assemblies. If you want to know if your child will be receiving an award you can email me or call me. We will be putting the lists together during the next two weeks.

Student council is sponsoring three fun Fridays.  Please see below the details below.

Friday, May 18 – “Hippie Day” – You may dress in your favorite clothing that looks hippie-ish!!  How about hippie skirts, dresses, necklaces, tye-dye shirts, shorts, pants, braided hair, flowers in you hair (girls), peace signs, hippie glasses, etc. (If you have PE don’t forget  your P.E. shoes.)

Friday, May 25 – “Beach Day” – You may dress in your favorite “cool” clothing.  Sandals, flip-flops, sleeveless shirts, shorts, hats, and shades would be beach wear.  NO SWIMSUITS ALLOWED!!  Please wear appropriate clothing.

Friday, June 1 – “Switch Day” or “Twin Day” – Switch Day clothing would mean dress like your friend and your friend dresses like you.  Twin day clothing means that you both dress the same.  Make sure you wear appropriate clothing.  Clothing should be normal school clothing.

The character trait for the month of May is Respect for Commitment/Dedication. This means our students should pursue tasks even when difficult or uninteresting; have a commitment to learning, have a commitment to the classroom community; pursue worthwhile endeavors, showing persistence, care and effort; and have a commitment to a duty or obligation to its conclusion.

During the month of April we had many students that received an “Ask Me” sticker.  The sticker is to represent a good character.  When you see a student with an “Ask Me” sticker they should be able to explain to you why they received the sticker.  The students listed below are the students who have received it recently.

Aiden Robinson, Matt Salopek, Jaeawnna Finnel, Nate Hilton, Magen Case, Erik Martin, Hunter Seachrist, Rhea Ross, Kyle Zader , Paige Thompson, Luke Larkin, Isabella Kunsch, Gaven Overdorf, Amanda Adams, Amber Strabala, Khalil Rahim, Sarrah Barazi, Reese Campana, Caleb Stroh, Luke Schumm, Eddie Story, Mackenzie Pennell, Cami Rankin, Griffin Belden, Morgan Keller, Devin South, Kent Gordon, Taylor Brooks, Lulu Nachampasak, Emily Loue, Alex Krindelbaugh, Paige Thompson,

The character trait for the month of April is Respect for Community/Environment. This means our students should work to improve the community, be conservative in their use of natural resources, understand and accept their role as a productive family member, obey laws and rules, show respect for legitimate authority, and exercise civic rights and duties.
