United Way Letter

We love that our families are always looking for ways to give back to our community and give their children a chance to participate.  One opportunity to do just that is coming up the week of October 30! 

We will kick off our United Way Campaign on Wednesday, November 1.  United Way has partnered with many agencies throughout Sumner County to meet the needs of its people.  Some of these agencies include:

·         Education-Community Child Care Services, Sumner County Adult Education Advisory Council, Sumner County 4-H, Kids on the Block

·         Income/Financial Stability-Grace Place, Hendersonville Samaritan Association, Youth CAN

·         Health-Alzheimer’s and Aging Services, Gallatin Senior Citizens Center, Nurses for Newborns, Senior Citizens of Hendersonville.

·         Rebuilding Lives- Ashley’s Place, HomeSafe, Student Assistance Program, Sumner County CASA,

We will be selling a Mega Pass for students to participate in dress up days beginning November 1-November 8.  Purchasing the pass will allow the student to wear hats, PJ’s, Wacky Tacky(mismatched), crazy socks, or bring a stuffed animal to school each day.  The cost of the pass will be $10 and passes will go on sale Monday, October 30.  Students may purchase the Mega pass from their teacher. The class with the highest percentage of participation will win a PIZZA PARTY and EXTRA RECESS! Dress up day’s will begin on Wednesday, Nov. 1. 

As always, we appreciate your dedication and commitment to our community!

Explorer Extra Credit Project

Just in case the informational sheet that was sent home on Monday did not make it here is an additional copy! If your child forgot which explorer they got just let me know, because I have a master list. 

Explorer Report & Poster Extra Credit Opportunity

Due Date: November 7, 2017 

Assignment: You are to do a ONE page report on _______________________________. 

In your report, include details like:
Where are they originally from?
What did they explore and discover on their exploration?
Were they sent by someone else to discover something?
What was their journey like? If it was difficult, what made it difficult?
Did they have any help?
What was the end result of their discovery?
These are just a FEW things you can include in your report.   You will be presenting this report to your classroom.  Tell us things that are interesting, because it is! J  Please write this as neatly as possible or you may type it.  DO NOT COPY STRAIGHT FROM A SOURCE (BOOK, INTERNET, ETC.)  Please use your own words.

On your poster, include:
Your written report attached to the back of your poster.
The name of your explorer displayed clearly at the top of your poster.
A picture of your explorer.
A map with the route of your explorer clearly displayed.
These will be displayed in the hall- so make them look good!

EXTRA EXTRA CREDIT:  If you dress up like your explorer while you give your presentation, you will receive extra credit points on your Social Studies grade. Be creative- look around your house and your parents’ closets (with their permission) for things to use as a costume.

Please rehearse reciting your report, pronouncing names, etc.  BEFORE the presentation date, because you will lose points if you are not prepared!  

THIS WILL BE COUNT AS 100 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS!



This Week

I hope you all had a nice long relaxing Fall Break! Please remember that all Warrior Walk donations are due tomorrow to qualify for prizes. If you have any questions about this please refer to the bright blue sheet that is in your child's take home folder. Also as an additional reminder we are going on a field trip on Friday, so be sure to pack your child's lunch in a disposable bag that day. If you checked on the permission for your child to get a sack lunch from school, the cafeteria will have that ready for them on Friday morning. 

Lunch Announcement: For those that are planning on purchasing lunch from the cafeteria tomorrow please note that there has been a menu change the new choices are: macaroni and cheese or chicken parmesan. Please remember that if your child is purchasing from the cafeteria, they do sometimes have menu changes on cafeteria live menu, which is located on the school website.
