CRE Families,
WOW! That one word captures both the level of amazement and my feelings towards the effort that the CRE community has given towards our pasta collection. The Pasta Bowl collection has been extended through Monday, September 10th. This means that we have one more weekend to collect pasta and send it in to CRE! We have an opportunity to not only help those in our community who are less fortunate, but also to show our Roadrunner pride! Let's make one more push this weekend as you shop and show Fishers a true example of Gratitude. Thank you for assisting us in instilling the principle of Gratitude in our students. Final CRE collection totals will be shared in next week's newsletter.
Congratulation to this weeks students of the week who were caught getting a G.R.I.P!
GRIP winners are students who were caught showing Gratitude, Purpose, Responsibility, Integrity and Gratitude.
Each week we will have 1 GRIP winner from each grade level.

News from STEM
Students are working hard in STEM to build, create, and explore! Last week we read the book, Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty and students worked together as architects to build using index cards. 4th gr students are working hard to create their very own amusement parks. It has been wonderful to hear conversations including what rides to include, hours their park should be open and what admission prices should be.
I am still taking donations of Makerspace items you may have at your home that you no longer use. Examples include: legos, marble runs, building blocks, coloring books, etc.
3rd/4th gr Parents: We are going to be using Microsoft PowerPoint this school year in STEM. Please download the PowerPoint app to your child’s Ipad.
