The Challenger Dispatch
August 5-9, 2019
Welcome Back!
Wow! What a great first day! At least from this perspective, no bloody noses, broken arms or upchuck in the lunchroom. Everyone made it home AND there were treats at the end of the day! Your classes looked great today and I saw many smiles and comments from students about a great first day.
Thank You PTA!
Thank you to PTA for the wonderful treat baskets. Also be sure to say thank you for the lovely breakfast our first day back, and our AWESOME t shirts!
Assembly Reminder
Please remember our PBIS Assembly Weds. at 1:00 in the lunchroom. Please remember to practice assembly behavior BEFORE the assembly. Does John have your video clip?
Supplies Donated
Saturday, Aug 3rd, Weatherly Assembly of God Church had a Back to School Bash here at Challenger. It was a a lot of fun and HOT! They also collected and donated a MOUNTAIN of school supplies. We will take a look at what they donated in the days to come.
