Parents, please have your student cross the street at the corner of North St. and Franklin St. or North St. and Broadway. Teachers are at those corners and will cross students safely. Please do not have your child cross North St. or the car line exit without a teacher.

Chocolate Bars are selling fast! Just as a reminder, turn in your permission slips signed by a parent and the student gets to bring home a box of $1.00 chocolate bars to sell. Need additional boxes? Just stop into either school office and pick up any additional boxes to sell. (These will only go home with parents) Also, some lucky winners will have a "Golden" ticket in their box which gets them a special surprise! These $1.00 bars are cheaper than the Dollar Store and cheaper than a bag of candy at Walmart so pick up a box or two to hand out for Trick or Treat night! Happy selling everyone!

If you see something that's yours or are missing items, please contact the office or stop into the school any time during school hours. As the temperature dips colder we still head outside for recess and kids will need to bundle up. ❄️🧣 Items labeled are easy to return but our Lost and Found is growing and it isn't even November!

The 6th grade class is sponsoring their first fundraiser during their journey through the Iron Giraffe Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to raise money for the Water for South Sudan organization to help them dig clean water wells in South Sudan, Africa. The team of students will host several fundraisers this year, and the first one started today with an aluminum can drive. All cans donated during this drive will be recycled to earn money that will be added to the team’s donation total. The group will take all types of aluminum drink cans, but leave soup and vegetable cans at home. Help out the Water for South Sudan team by bringing in as many empty, aluminum cans as you can to your homeroom until Friday at 3:15pm.

Dear Parents, We are excited to introduce the Virtues in Practice program, designed for our students in grades K-8 to help them grow in virtue. Throughout the school year, our entire school community will focus on the same virtue each month, covering a total of 27 virtues over a three-year cycle. This year, we will begin with the theological virtue of faith, exploring a different aspect of this virtue each month. The program emphasizes learning and role-playing in the classroom and encourages students to engage in monthly projects at home. These projects aim to help students practice the virtues in real-life situations. Teachers will send home a list of project choices that will be completed at home each month along with a simple reflection form which will need to be returned to school at the end of each month, signed by both parents and students. This reflection will help reinforce the learning and engagement with the virtue. Look for more information coming home from your teachers. We appreciate your support and involvement in this meaningful initiative!
