From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
As you can see you are receiving this week's newsletter a bit early. Effective immediately we have decided to send out the newsletter on Mondays instead of Wednesdays. We are hoping you find this new timing beneficial and helpful in planning for each week. All submissions will need to be in by the Friday before the Monday newsletter.
There was a glitch with signing up online with Sunday's Adult Social at Revere's. This should be cleared up. There is still time to sign up and join the fun!
We have had 3 fabulous, fun events here at school in the last couple weeks!
Grandparent's Day was a huge success! Many thanks to t
he
grandparents
and guests who were able to attend. We hope to get 100% attendance next year! If a grandparent isn't available, any special "grand-friend" is welcome to come.
We had a fun-filled celebration of
Halloween! Costumes this year were amazing! Check out
Facebook for all the pictures!
Trunk or Treat was also a scary success! We had a great turnout of "trunks" and "treaters". The trunk decorations were spectacular!
This year's Trunk Winners:
 1st Place: "Dog Wash,"
Hildebrand Family
2nd Place: "DJ Dryer's Karaoke,"
Dryer Family (the neighbors are still talking!)
3rd Place: "Skee-ball,"
Goggins Family
Can't wait for next year!!
We say good-bye to our middle school math teacher, Mrs. Jenny Danks, and wish her and her family well.
We continue to pray for another good fit for our middle school math position.
Blessings!
Mrs. Knippel

Miss Wagner's 3K class erupted with enthusiasm for this science experiment! With a little baking soda and vinegar, they were able to make their "pumpcano" explode...not just one time of course!
Gr. 6 under the directon of
Ms. Duellman-Arndt learned how science and technology work together to meet the changing needs of our society. One focus was on technological systems and the design of a clicker pen. Students also utilize reverse engineering by taking apart a piece of technology and exploring the parts that make up those systems to learn how they work.
