CHAUCIE'S PLACE, SMART STEPS - BODY SAFETY PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN
The Chaucie’s Place, Smart Steps: A Body Safety Program for Children presentations will take place September 29 for kindergarten, 2nd grade and 4th grade students at FCE.
This program has been a part of many of our Hamilton Southeastern elementary schools in the past, as well as in several other Hamilton County school districts.
We would like to invite you to attend a parent meeting at Lantern Road Elementary on the evening of September 22nd at 6pm to provide you with additional information about the presentations. This presentation is for parents only.
The 30 minute presentations will be given within each classroom by a trained Smart Steps presenter. All Smart Steps presenters have completed background checks. They share a scripted, age appropriate presentation so the same message is communicated to all students in their grade level. The teacher will also be in the classroom during the presentation.
4th grade only: After the classroom presentation, 4th grade students will have the opportunity to mark “Yes” or “No” on a piece of paper to answer the question, “Do you need to talk to someone because you or someone you know was touched on a private part of the body for no good reason or to play a game?” A Smart Steps presenter and Mrs. Meyer, our school counselor, will follow up with each student that marks, “Yes.”
These presentations will be provided to all kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade classes. Although not required, each child’s attendance in the Smart Steps Body Safety program is strongly recommended. If you have any questions or do not want your child to participate in the program, please contact school counselor, Mrs. Marna Meyerat mmeyer@hse.k12.in.us or (317)594-4180.

2016 FUN WALK Friday, September 30
The 2016 Fun Walk is this coming Friday, September 30. Please send your child(ren) in gym shoes and consider sending a water bottle as well. The kids will spend time outside being active with fun music, themes and even popsicles. Each class will have a team pedometer to accrue the most steps during their allotted time. The top class for the day will receive pedometers to keep! The money from this fundraiser is key for so many important “extras” and makes it possible for the school to avoid traditional fundraisers such as selling cookie dough or wrapping paper. Thanks to all that have sent in pledges, it is much appreciated and every bit helps! If you have not turned in pledges, no worries – there is plenty of time to keep gathering pledges. Thanks for your support!
FISHBOWL Student Newspaper is back!

The choir is open to any 3rd or 4th grade student who loves to sing! The choir will meet on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:00 am in the Music Room. I know other groups also meet on Tuesdays and I am flexible with attendance so that students can have multiple opportunities. We have several performance opportunities planned for 1st semester including Veteran’s Day, a Holiday Program, and our Caring and Carols outreach to senior citizens. The first rehearsal will be on October 4 at 8:00 am in the Music Room. Students do not need to pre-register for Choir.
