PBIS store items needed at Cherry

As part of our school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention Supports initiative, we have started giving out blue tickets when students are observed showing one of our character traits, following school rules, or going above and beyond to be responsible, respectful and safe. FYI- if you see one at home, please send it back to school since tickets are supposed to remain here.

At the end of the month, students will be able to cash in their tickets for prizes.  This is where we need your help.  We need small, inexpensive items for our PBIS store. If you can send cool erasers, small toys, stickers, activity books, game cards, etc-  we would appreciate it. You can bring them to the front office or to your child's teacher.

Thank you for helping us to reinforce the positive behaviors we are seeing in our students.

Merci!

Painless Fundraising Labels Collection

The Painless Fundraising Committee will be collecting labels on November 16th so please send in all Box Tops, Best Choice, and Tyson A+ labels. Please be sure to label your baggie with your teacher's name so that your class gets credit. Collection bins are set up in the front desk area at each campus. If you have a lot of labels, it would speed up counting if you could separate them into different baggies by label type. The class from each campus with the most labels will win a party at the

 end of the school year! This is an ongoing program so please continue collecting throughout

the year.

If you are interested in helping us count on Sunday, November 18th, or have questions about the painless fundraising program, please contact Lynne Yarnevich at  lynneporthouse@hotmail.com

On Vous en Parle! Issue 1

The first issue of On Vous en Parle! has been published. Please click here to check it out. They worked very hard on it!  4th and 5th graders are the writers and photographers at Oak. 6th, 7th and 8th graders are writers/editor at Armour.  They collaborate together using Google Classroom and Docx. The final result is published using an application called Lucidpress, which allows us to layout and publish the magazine online. The two teams, a total of more than 35 students, meet every Monday in their respective building from 4 to 5 pm. It really works like a newspaper: a collaborative and creative work between journalists and editors, trying to keep deadlines, to respect an editorial line, to inform a wide audience which is you, the students and the parents. Jean Pasqualini is our Editor in Chief and advisor at Armour, Dorothée Werner is the Oak club advisor. Enjoy!
