Principal's Post

Dear McCulloch Families,
     The month of November went my so quickly! We are going to deploy our first round of Student Leadership Teams on December 11. Not all students will be on a team this first round. Our goal is to have all students involved in a building leadership role by the end of the school year. 
     We continue to strive towards bell to bell attendance. This includes being on time for the school day and not leaving early. Our November attendance took a slight dip with 96.36%. Let's work as a team to keep our learners at school every day!
     We want to wish you and your family a happy holiday season. We are so thankful for all of our families at McCulloch Elementary!
     Thanks for all you do to support our learners and school.

 Your partners in education~
Ms. Amber Shuck and Mrs. Helen Williams






 
McCulloch Mission December
Pizza Hut Fundraiser Night
Mark your calendars because THIS THURSDAY, December 7th is our monthly Pizza Night fundraiser for McCulloch Elementary.  Twenty percent of all pizza sales  on Thursday  night (where there is a flyer filled out and turned in to Pizza Hut) will come right back to our school.  So far this year, we have already raised over $260 for our school - and that's all thanks to our wonderful families here at McCulloch.  We have 6 more fundraising opportunities this year and our goal is to raise $800 for our school. 
Special Announcement from Ms. Shuck
Dear McCulloch Families,
     As you have been so welcoming to me this school year and I consider McCulloch families part of my extended family, I wanted to let you know that on November 22, I was able to marry my best friend. You will start seeing communication home with the name Ms. Amber Sainz, in the near future. 
Thanks for all of your support at McCulloch!

During December, we will be focusing on Habit #4, Think Win-Win. This means balancing courage for getting what you want with consideration for what others want. This means learning to make deposits in others' Emotional Bank Accounts. Think Win-Win means that when conflicts arise, you learn to look for options for both sides.
