Students have been learning about a joyful day in so many ways in preparation for John Schu's visit next week. As part of finding joy, Mrs. Darrington took each of her classes on a joyful walk during PE. It was so much fun walking along the path and seeing some of the wonderful things in nature. Your students can tell you how they looked for gnomes, flags, skeletons, pine cones, and more. Have your students tell you what part they enjoyed most.
Congratulations to Mr. Marc who is the recipient of a RISE Award! Mr. Marc is recognized for his countless contributions to our school and his connection with students. We are very lucky to have Mr. Marc at our school!

Here's a look ahead to what's happening next week.
The big highlights of the week are 1st Grade and 3rd/4th Grade A.L.L. Field Trips and of course the Halloween Parade on Friday.
Please remember that costumes worn to school must meet school dress code standards and students need to wear good shoes for outdoor play at recess. No weapons, gore, or violence should be depicted in the costumes. No inflatables or masks can be worn after the parade.

Learning about the night sky, constellations, the solar system and eclipses become lots more fun inside the Star Dome. Over the past two days some of the students have had the opportunity to be inside the dome for these fun science lessons.
Help us add our Veterans to an Honor Wall for Veterans Day.
Each year on Veterans Day, Miss Louw's class provides a service and puts flags on each Veteran's grave in the Highland Cemetery. They also learn about Veteran's. This year, we are expanding that learning opportunity to all of our students and are looking to recognize and honor those Veterans within our school community.
If you have a Veteran in your family, we'd love to recognize them on our school Honor Wall. Please nominate them using this form: https://forms.gle/wJUSuJj6BHrcZGFg7.
We are also planning a flag ceremony for the morning of Veterans' Day, November 11th. The scout troops in our area will be providing this for our student body. The flag ceremony will happen at the beginning of the school day.
We are so thankful for the service of our Veterans and look forward to learning more about those in our community.
