Mindful Minute - Helping our kids understand COVID-19
Important Notes & School Highlights
eLearning: You can access the most recent updates to our school calendar and frequently asked questions by visiting the district website. We thank you for your efforts to partner with us for eLearning. Our students have really met the challenge. To help students stay caught up, assignments are due by the next eLearning day unless specified by the teacher.
Meal Assistance: Western Boone schools will provide meal assistance for students in need during our school closure. Pick up will be held each Monday at various locations throughout the district. Please be sure to sign up EACH week at weboschool.org so we can prepare the appropriate number of meals. It is important that you pick up at your designated location so we have our appropriate supply for all families requesting assistance.
Virtual Talent Show: At Thorntown, we don't go down without a fight, and we can't let this year get away from us without some of our traditional end-of-year celebrations. Mrs. Ballentine and Miss McCrimmond have been working out details to hold a virtual talent show. Brush up on your skills, kids! We want to share your amazing talent before we wrap up our time together on May 18. Watch for important info coming soon!
Shining Moment from our Thorntown Family
Shining Moment Alert: One of my favorite parts of the job is getting to recognize the amazing work and efforts from our students through our Shining Moments Passes. While students cannot visit the office to celebrate, I still want to give a shout out to the great things going on with our school family. This week, we recognize Emily S. She is a fourth grader who has been giving a great deal of thought to protecting our enviroment. She has a fondness for sea turtles, and has been using her time at home to research some of the hazards WE create for these beautiful creatures. She has recently submitted an essay about how to reduce waste by switching reusable straws. We are excited about how Emily is advocating and putting her mind to important work. Way to go, Emily!
I encourage you to share some of the meaningful ways your children are learning during our time away. We want to be sure to shout out to them as well!
