Christmas Countdown

Today we started our countdown to Christmas vacation. Each morning the students will gather in the hallway and as a group we will pop one balloon. Inside each balloon there is a special activity for the students to do that day. Be sure to ask your child what the special activity was for the day!

Fire Safety

Fire Safety

October 21st, 2011

Last week Anderson Fire Department came to visit with the students about fire safety. They talked with the students about the importance of fire safety and what to do if there is a fire. The students then got a chance to go outside and look at the fire trucks. They even turn on the lights and sirens for them! Here are some pictures from their visit.

Thanks Anderson Fire Department!

Bully Busters

We have an awesome Bully Buster program at our school.  It is headed up by our own Assistant Principal, Tom Henry.  Students are not allowed to become Bully Busters until they are in third grade.  Forms were sent home over a week ago for you and your child to look at.  You do not need to buy a t-shirt to be a Bully Buster.  There's still time...if you would still like to become a Bully Buster and need another form please let us know and we will send a new one home.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent Teacher Conferences will take place Tuesday, October 25th from 4-8pm and October 27th from 8am-12pm.  If you have not chosen a time for your Parent Teacher Conference, please do so soon.  Spots are filling up quickly.  If neither of those days will work for you, please feel free to contact us and we can make other arrangements.  We will be sending out confirmation letter with your day and time next week.  We will try our best to accomodate everyone's needs.
