Cardinals of the Month - November
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!
Lucky Primary Family
I am one of the "Lucky Ones" who truly enjoys going to work every day... I am surrounded by amazing adults and little people that help make me a better person and the world a better place. Not every day is full of unicorns and rainbows and during the holiday rush it is often easy to get caught up in the business of life; however, walking into the Primary Building today, I was reminded of how blessed we are. Every adult and child was greeted by randomly placed sticky notes left as positive affirmations.
Newest Member of the Primary Family
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
Kids Caring at Christmas Project
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Dawes County Courthouse Tree Decorating
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!
On the Lookout for Lego Bricks
Chadron Primary School and our Parent Involvement group is on the lookout for Lego Bricks... The group is planning a Penny Carnival set for February 17, 2017 and as a part of the games and activities we are seeking new or gently used Lego bricks. If you would like to purchase and or donate any Lego bricks you can send them with your child or drop them off at the Chadron Primary School Office. We will be accepting any Lego brick donations from now until the date of the Penny Carnival.
Parent Involvement Meeting
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.
Lead Poisoning Alert
As a part of a community health initiative, the nursing class at the University of Nebraska Medical Center - College of Nursing is partnering with the Panhandle Public Health District and Scottsbluff County Health Department to raise awareness about the hazards of lead poisoning in young children. Following are some resources that help promote the health and wellness of children. Please check out the resources below and share with others to enhance awareness about the hazards of lead poisoning in young children.
Box Top Winners!!
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!
Kindergarten Students Rocking the Vote
Mrs. Landreth's class has been discussing democracy in Kindergarten and today they exercised their right to vote! They had ballots, voting stations, and will celebrate the vote with a celebration. The children have been excited to learn about voting and having their voices heard. What a fun activity!
