11.9.18 Principal Notes


Dear McKelvie Families~

It has been wonderful running into parents during conferences this week!  Conferences continue next week, so feel free to contact your child's teacher if you have not yet set up a meeting.  Report cards are now available online.  Please remember there is no school on Monday, in observance of Veteran's Day.

Lost and Found:
Is your child coming home cold? Are your cupboards missing water bottles? Are snacks thrown about in your child's backpack?  Chances are it's because their coat, water bottle, and lunchbox are in the lost and found!  Click HERE to see the 150ish items that have been turned in.  If an item looks familiar, tell your child to go and look in the lost and found, located in the cafeteria.

Kindness Club News:
The Kindness Club is promoting November as gratitude month. Students designed a “complimentree” for people to leave kind notes for people at McKelvie. The notes will be distributed to everyone at the end of the month.

Members also created a poster for students to contribute to as they eat lunch in the cafeteria. McKelvie students have been asked to color a square for what they sometimes forget to be thankful for in their own life.

Kindness club is designed to help spread kindness to everyone within the McKelvie community. Students are welcome to attend and no sign-ups are needed. The Kindness Club will meet on Friday, November 16 until 4:15pm.

Bedford Community Food Pantry Food Drive
Please consider donating to the Bedford Food Pantry by participating in our food drive for the month of November. McKelvie is collecting Single Serve Mac and Cheese. Thanks for your support!

Rolls Still Needed!
The math science center still needs toilet paper and paper towel rolls. After the paper is gone, please bring your cardboard rolls to the bin outside the office labeled "ROLLS".
