A Special Day to Remember

The poppy is a symbol of honor, remembrance &

consolation for loved ones when soldiers are lost in war.

Our community is learning to honor the service of veterans.

Everyone was able to attend a practice as 4th graders

prepared to salute family, guests & veterans on November 10th.

Did you notice a banner decorating the gym wall?

Thank you to Parkside first graders; it looked so very grand. 

"Veterans Thank You For Your Service"

This musical event even included some history lessons.   

It's important to come together in word and

song to show appreciation to those who serve others.  

Thank you Mrs. Mendenhall, 4th graders & all those

 who created artwork to adorn the hallway for this special event.

At the afternoon performance, 1st graders presented

cards and small gift to veterans attending the program.

What an honor it was to celebrate these special men & women!

Respect and Appreciation

We know that the smallest gestures often hold the greatest significance!

Recently our Creative Literacy classes did some beautiful artwork.

Their task was designing a greeting card and include a personal message.

The artwork and well-wishes were for Vietnam War veteran Al Bennett.

He was selected for "The Honor Flight of Southern Indiana," that

departed Evansville Regional Airport on Friday October 29th.

Veterans, along with a guardian or escort, fly to Washington D.C. 

While there, Al and the others were recognized, honored, and toured

 the sights around our U.S. capitol, including Arlington National Cemetery.

We trust that these gifts of artwork and words will help

Al Bennett feel joyful and know that we appreciate his service. 

We can find ways to show respect
 and admiration for others, especially when they inspire us.

Wrapping Up a Busy Week

This leader helps a pupil practice his reading.

#ThankYou

Professional health care workers were our guests,

with lots of welcoming smiles and high-fives!

What a wonderful welcome to class on Friday morning.

What's not to love?

Thank you for such uplifting moments for our pupils.

There was "seasonal fun" this week as well.

How about math lessons with pumpkins?

Open the gourd with partners & scoop out its seeds.

Then the counting...and more counting begins!

This is How We Roll

 

Nature gives us all beautiful, fall things from

our Butterfly Garden to create special works of art.

T.A.G. pupils have started after-school sessions.

They're involved with computer programming in Acellus.

Wonderful kids make up our school community.

"Morning showers," are necessary for some plants.

Collaborating to create "Halloween" greetings, you bet! 

 Kids are learning about a chemical reaction called oxidation.

Curious leaders keep their eyes on this ongoing experiment.

Pennies are made of copper & when exposed to oxygen

form molecules called copper oxide.   As the penny dries and is

exposed to the air, a chemical reaction occurs and the penny turns green.

 More than 30 tons of copper went into creating The Statue of Liberty, which altogether weighs 204 tons!  Learn more about this monument, located in New York City:
