The upcoming week will be short but packed with a lot of energy and fun at McKelvie School! Tuesday is our Move-A-Thon assembly. This past week kids were given their Move-A-Thon raffle tickets to put in the baskets of their choice. There were nearly 30 baskets to choose from! All prizes will be raffled off at the assembly. Tuesday is also twin/triplet/multiple day. Kids can pair or group up and dress alike. The fifth and sixth grade classes with the most participation will win a prize!

Library News:
The Rubik's cube challenge is in full swing! Click HERE to see what has been created so far. We are striving to have the turkey mosaic created before next week's holiday! This mosaic has been a challenge.
I could not resist putting this PSA into the note from the library this week. Please remember to keep your library books safe! With student permission, I captured this image of a book nibbled on by one of her adorable dogs at her house along with an image of one of the culprits. Even furry family members like a good book! To avoid book charges, please remind your child to keep books away from pets.
I want to wish all of the McKelvie community a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
Enjoy the time with friends and family. ~Mrs. Cote
From the Book Fair Committee:
Traffic during parent pick-up is continuing to be problematic. We have had parents drive the wrong way into both the County Rd. and Liberty Hill Rd. parking lots in order to go around the traffic. Entering through the exit is very dangerous and can cause an accident. Please enter the parking lots at the appropriate entrances when picking up students. When possible, you can completely avoid this by using the bus!
Changing Families Group:
The guidance department is running a 6 week "Changing Families" group during the school day for students who are experiencing parental divorce or separation. The purpose of the group is to teach age-appropriate coping skills related to identified problems and stressors resulting from divorce in a non-judgmental and supportive group setting. Please contact the guidance office to sign up or for more information; Kim Galluzzo, galluzzok@sau25.net/472-3951x22216 or Priscilla McGinty, mcgintyp@sau25.net/472-3951x22226.
