Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Wow!  Boosterthon Fun Run, Walk to School Week, Student-Led Conferences, Awards Day, Red Ribbon Week, the Fall Festival, and on and on and on! Could we possibly squeeze anything else into the month of October? Oh yes, we can - Career Day is this Thursday!



What a hectic, whirlwind time of year, but it's so rewarding to see the wonder and excitement in the eyes of our students. They are learning so much each and everyday!



So let's catch up on what's been going on. As you know, our class raised the most money in the Boosterthon Fun Run! As a reward, we got to throw a pie in Dr. Patterson's face and spray him with silly string. It was a hilarious experience for all of us!




What a great sense of humor our leader has!


Go ahead and watch it again; you know you want to!



This week is Red Ribbon Week, and students are asked to wear different things each day to support our pledge to "Just Say NO!"

We will encourage our students to “Believe, Achieve & Succeed…Drug Free!”  Here is a sneak peek of next week’s events:

·       Monday – Bulldog Spirit Day (wear red & black)
·       Tuesday – Dress for Success (dress in your best)
·       Wednesday – College, University, & Military Day (wear a favorite college/university/military shirt)
·       Thursday – Career Dream Day from 8:30-10:30am (dress in clothing that matches future career)
·       Friday – OES Spirit Day (wear an OES shirt or school colors)

On Monday, students will receive a “dog tag” to wear throughout the week.  


Next, here is a picture of our class pumpkin book character, Skippy Jon Jones. We are raising money to support Relay for Life. Each classroom decorated a pumpkin as their favorite book character. My sweeties fell i love with SkippyJon Jones last week when I read one of his books for the first time. Skippy is a Siamese cat who wants to be a renegade chihuahua. Here is a link to learn more about Skippy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCoeGJLWnYc 

Students can vote on their favorite pumpkin each day through Thursday by putting money in a jar next to the book character of their choice.
