Veterans Day
This past Thursday, November 11th, our Little Giants celebrated Veterans Day with some very special loved ones. We honored dads, grandpas, moms, grandmas, GREAT grandpas, and cousins.
Thanks to those that joined us. We appreciate you and your service to our great country!
Congratulations to our Little Giants of the Week
Achievement Wall
50 sight words!!!! Great job Little Giants, you're halfway there!
Sight Word Challenge
Each week our teachers introduce new sight words. Students then practice reading them in book clubs and learning centers.
Below you will find a list of sight words. Feel free to print them off and make flash cards for your child to practice.
Prize Wheel
As part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) plan, each student is given a punch card. As they demonstrate positive behaviors, such as kindness, responsibility, and respect, they receive a hole punch. Once they fill up their punch card, they get to spin the wheel and earn a prize. It's a HUGE HIT with our kindergartners!

Important Note About Free Meal Program
While all students are eligible for free meals for the 2021-22 school year, there are restrictions to the program per the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) guidelines.
If your student brings lunch from home but still wants milk, fruit, or a vegetable to go with their meal, the USDA requires us to charge a small fee because it is considered an a la carte “add-on” purchase. According to USDA rules, the free program only applies to “complete” meals.
To avoid this fee, students who bring their lunch from home are invited to go through the lunch line and get fruit, vegetable, and milk for FREE. This meets the USDA requirements for a balanced meal so there is no cost.
The program will run through June 2022, or until USDA funding runs out (whichever occurs first).
