Chadron Primary School

Many times the work of others goes unnoticed...  our Chadron Police Department deserves to be recognized for the work they do behind the scenes.  Our officers have supported our schools in many ways; and one of my favorites is their Shop with a Cop program.  Every year our Police Department is given a quite extensive list of names of students who may need a little extra love during the holidays.  This program is funded through generous donations from staff members at Chadron Public Schools along with community members.

Chadron Primary School would like to send a HUGE thank you to all of our families that helped contribute to our Food Drive.  In lieu of presents to one another, our teachers asked students to bring canned goods we could take to the local food pantry.  On Tuesday we were able to deliver the food to the church.  Our students were given a tour of the food pantry and able to talk to Mrs. Dagen about how many people these wonderful donations help out year round.  Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your donations!

Monday night our Kindergarten Students had their Christmas Program at the high school.  Mrs. Dickerson does a wonderful job of coordinating the program and the students did a FABULOUS job!!  Thank you to all of the volunteers who help make this night such a success!!

Due to the weather forecast, there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow (12/16).  Stay warm and safe - see you Monday!

Once again we honored our Cardinals of the Month for November with breakfast in the teachers' lounge.  We are so proud of our students and how well they follow our Cardinal Rules:  Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.  Thank you for the continued support from families and when you see these little birds outside of the nest congratulate them on a job well done!

I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member to the Chadron Primary Family....  Seymour Goodthings.  He is very excited to catch our smallest of Cardinals doing great things here in the "nest" and following our Cardinal Rules.  Keep your eyes out for Seymour and continue making good choices.
Seymour had to check out Mrs. Uhing's office before making his way to another spot in the Primary Building

Chadron Primary School students were invited to the Dawes County Courthouse to decorate the tree in the main entry way for the annual Parade of Lights.  Students enjoyed the beautiful November weather as we walked to the courthouse and the children put their hand made ornaments on the tree.  Students were also treated to a candy cane for the return trip to school.  Thank you to the staff at the courthouse; if you are out and about here in town, please stop by the courthouse and take a look at the work of our talented students.  Happy Holidays!

We would like to invite everyone to a Parent Involvement Meeting Thursday, November 17th at 5:00 p.m.  Our parent group is excited to continue work on planning our Penny Carnival.  We have established some committees to assist in the organization of the Penny Carnival and would love to have any other families join in the fun!  We look forward to seeing you on Thursday night in the Chadron Primary Library.

Chadron Primary would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of the families that helped contribute to our Box Top collection.  Our school collected a total of 6,912 Box Tops which calculates to over $600.00 for our school to use for playground balls, and other curricular supplies.  The children had a fun time competing against other classrooms; however Mrs. Hendrickson's second grade class prevailed as the winners collecting a total of 1, 054 Box Tops.  Again - thank you so very much for your help in supporting this great program!
