This week has really flown by! I am looking forward to spending quality time with family over the long Columbus Day Weekend, and I hope all of you can enjoy some down time as well! Please remember there is no school on Monday.
Mr. Miller-Guidance Counselor:
As mentioned last week, Brian Miller is our new guidance counselor for last names K-Z. Click HERE to read an introductory letter from Mr. Miller.
Holiday Cards for Our Troops:
Last year, McKelvie students and families joined thousands of other families in surrounding towns in a grass-roots effort to send a holiday greeting card to every deployed sailor aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier. McKelvie contributed about 700 cards to the over 17,000 cards that were collected. This year, Holiday Cards 4 Our Military-NH Challenge seeks to send 5,000 cards to deployed members of each of the 5 military branches, and we know McKelvie can help meet that goal. Between now and October 15, families are invited to dig out your leftover cards from last year, with or without envelopes, and send them to school. During the week of October 15-19, our students will write greetings to deployed service members in these cards and in homemade cards with their homerooms. You may contact Mr. Robinson for more information: robinsong@sau25.net.
Library News:
Amy Poisson (McKelvie Enrichment Teacher) and Julie Cote (McKelvie Librarian) are excited to offer a new opportunity for students, our first ever before-school book club! The book we have chosen is a 2018-2019 Great Stone Face Nominee by popular Maine author, Andrew Clements. The title of our selection is The Losers Club.

Last Friday we had a furry visitor at the McKelvie Library! Gus, a certified therapy dog, and his owner Barbara Sofield came to visit during the 5th and 6th grade recess times. Both students and staff were thrilled to visit with Gus. Click HERE to see Gus, Mrs. Sofield, and two 6th grade McKelvie students. Gus and Mrs. Sofield will be making regular appearances on Fridays to the McKelvie Library beginning October 19th.
Congratulations to our 1st Search Slip winner of the year! 5th grader, Lilly McCann, along with MANY others, entered our monthly library raffle by filling out a Search Slip with information regarding the book they are looking for in the McKelvie Library. Each month all of the Search Slips are collected and one winner is drawn from all of the entries for the month. Click HERE to see Lilly’s search slip and the envelope containing a gift certificate for a sweet treat!
Have a great long weekend!
