Is it me or are the weeks just flying by? I can't believe it is Friday again! We completed our All School Read today and the kids were amazing. We are fortunate to have such wonderful students and families. I, for one, am grateful. Below are this week's updates:
Polite & Right Raffle Winners
Grade 5 = Ava Boll & Emily Stabell
Grade 6 = Evan Perry & Madison Riso
Congratulations!
*Note: Our google domain was down today, so I will include this week's picture later in the week. My apologies as the picture was very cute!
Columbus Day Observance
A reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 12th in observance of Columbus Day.
Substitute Opportunity
Have you ever thought about subbing, but have not been brave enough to take the plunge? Well, it's time to take that plunge. We are looking for people who can be confidential, patient, kind, and follow a lesson plan. AND - do that in a supportive environment with amazing students. If you are interested, click here and start your application process. We will even do our best to have the interview at McKelvie.
Holy Chorus, Batman!
The McKelvie Chorus is the BIGGEST it has ever been! We have 112 singers this year. Click here to see all of them - well, almost all of them. There are 22 missing. Not to worry, there will be other pictures.
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!
Yes - there was a bear sighting on Wednesday around the noontime hour in the vicinity of McKelvie. As a result, we called PWS, RAL, & BHS to notify them and ran indoor recess. Additionally, we contacted Animal Control. The students and staff were perfectly safe, but I like to make sure that you are in the know when these types of situations occur.
Chipolte
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the Chipolte event on Wednesday. Can you believe we earned $800? Wow. I guess that's one step closer to me stepping out of a perfectly good plane. :)
Move-a-thon
The Move-A-Thon is coming Octo
This is a great weekend to have your children reach out to family and friends for sponsorships. Our principal has kindly been coerced to throw himself out of an airplane if our students raise $40,000.00 - every little bit helps us reach our fundraising goal!
We do offer FANTASTIC prizes to our students to reward their fundraising efforts. For the top 5 fundraisers at each grade level they can choose from: a limo ride home from school, a Go Pro Camera, a Chromebook, a suite at the Harlem Globetrotters, or a suite at the Manchester Monarchs.
For every $10 in pledges a student raises, they earn the chance to win a prize from a raffle basket of their choice. These baskets include: a ride to school in a police car, golf passes, pizza party pass, Launch passes, movie tickets, indoor rock climbing passes, ski passes and many more. Look for more information to come out regarding prizes!!
Move-a-thon Volunteers Needed
We are looking for some additional volunteers for the Move-A-Thon! Take a moment to sign up and help out at this event on 10/22 (rain date of 10/23). The Volunteer Sign up link is HERE for 5th Grade and Here for 6th Grade.
