To commemorate Veterans Day our students will be participating in 2 activities with the whole school. 

 

1) Students will have the opportunity to purchase a small United States flag for $1. I will collect the money from the students and coordinate with their Faith Partners to arrange a time on Wednesday the 9th or Thursday the 10th to plant the flags along the sidewalks on Ionia/Keene.

 

 

2) Our classroom will decorate our hallway with red, white, and blue stars. We would love to include some information about beloved Veterans. If you know someone who has served in the military, please provide your child with the following information: when they served, where they were stationed, anything unique to their service, including accolades and P.O.W. service. 

This weeks Student of the Week, is really good a building with blocks, loves going to the park, and playing with his toys. One place he would love to visit is Jackson Hole, Wyoming and when he grows up he wants to be Dump Truck Driver! We loved learning all about him! 

Student Council representatives Anna and Morgan came by to tell us about this years Awareness Walk Fundraiser! 

 

Last year we raised money for Breast Cancer Awareness, this time we are raising money for the American Red Cross to help those who were impacted by Hurricane Ian. 

 

Money will be collected starting now till the day of the walk which is currently TBD. 

 

On the day of the walk the children are encouraged to wear red.

 

Thank you for helping us raise both awareness and money.

This morning, Ms. Jena lead us in a beautiful Blessing of the Pets in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. We learned about St. Francis and his life as well as how when he spoke of God, the animals listened. A few more photos can be found in the photo album titled Blessing of the Pets. 

On Tuesday 9/27 we had our first severe weather drill. The children were at P.E. when it took place. However, during our morning meeting we talked about what we should do, and how we need to cover our heads and stay as quiet as possible to hear the teachers. They did a fantastic job! I was so impressed as were Mrs. Hermes & Mrs. Divane, Mrs. Carlson and the upper grade teachers. After the drill was over Mrs. Carlson went to the gym to tell the children herself how impressed she was and what a wonderful job they did.  

Celebrating the Feast of St. Francis

Dear Parents, 

Tuesday, Oct. 4th is the Feast of St. Francis. To celebrate, we are going to have our own “Blessing of the Pets”. Each child is allowed to bring ONE SMALL stuffed animal to school on Monday. Weather permitting we will go out by his statue on the playground and say the prayer of St. Francis along with a blessing for the animals. 

Thank you, 

Ms. Gunther
