These girls compete at Districts tomorrow (Friday, December 1st). Our little Cardinals want to wish them and their entire team - GOOD LUCK! Thanks again Cardinals Committed for taking time to make a difference in the lives of our students, you are amazing role models!
Seymour Goodthings is BACK!!!
Chadron Primary students were so excited to welcome our Elf Seymour Goodthings. He has been spotted around the building watching our little Cardinals do amazing things here in the nest!! We will keep you posted as to his whereabouts; however, we want to remind students and families that he is not to be touched, thank you for keeping the magic alive.
Courthouse Tree Decorating
On Tuesday, November 21st Chadron Primary students walked down to Dawes County Courthouse to decorate the Christmas Tree featured in the foyer. The children made handmade ornaments and enjoyed the nice weather as they ventured down for the fun. The children were also given a candy cane to enjoy. Thank you Dawes County Courthouse employees for inviting our students to enjoy the season!
Important Information
Lockdown DrillDrills are not life-threatening situations, however we use them to practice moving to a secure room, locking and/or barricading doors, making alternative escape plans, and gathering objects of opportunity for weapons.
The most important part of our drills, is the student discussions and practice of safety procedures and protocols with our teachers.
Lockdown is called when it is believed there is a threat or hazard inside the school building.
AVOID
Buddy Bench
Girl Scout Troops #10283 and #10286 came to Chadron Primary this past Saturday to work on a project toward earning their Bronze Awards Chadron Girl Scouts Hannah Jamison and Gillian Conway were joined by Lillie Allen from Crawford. The Buddy Bench idea along with the Rainbow Bench allow children the opportunity to have someone to play with (Buddy) or a spot to socialize (Rainbow). The Girl Scouts have created some rules to go with the Buddy Bench. Thank you Girl Scouts for your community service project and for thinking of Chadron Primary students.
