We are excited to announce that Friday, September 27th is Head Elementary Stable Reveal Day. We have formed five color stables representing five character traits that we hope to see in our young Broncos. Kindergarten students will be assigned to the stable of their teacher. All 1st-5th grade students will draw a colored bracelet from a bag to find out their stable assignment. Our year will be filled with competitions and point earning opportunities sure to engage and excite. Our purpose is to build unity and strong character in our students and to allow for powerful and lasting relationships. Be on the lookout Friday to see which stable your child will join. This is sure to be a day to remember!
Science Olympiad:
Would you be interested in a fun opportunity to volunteer with some of our school's brightest and most motivated students? We are looking for help coaching our award-winning Science Olympiad team each Tuesday from 3:30-4:45. No expertise in science needed, just a willingness to learn a few topics alongside 2-5 students. We would appreciate your consideration and help!
From the Media Center:
Here are the running totals from the first day of school (not including summer reading.) School wide we have read almost 37 million words this year! (In only 7 weeks of school!)
Keep up the great work. It's really fun to see how many words we've read each week. We are happy to welcome kindergarten to the fun!
