Discovery Elementary School - November 1, 2023
Red Ribbon Week
Life is a journey, travel drug-free!
From head to toe, we are drug free!
We have the POWER to be drug free!
National School Psychology week is November 6th-10th! Shout out to our wonderful Psychologist, Abby Pierce, for everything she does!
Thanksgiving Food Drive
The Meridian Food Bank supports hundreds of families throughout the West Ada School District each year. In an effort to give back, Discovery will be hosting a food drive November 13th-17th. Please consider donating non-perishable goods to help keep this generous program running!
Join our Discovery Crew! We have open positions available.
We are looking to fill special education paraprofessional positions in our Extended Resource Room. The hours available are 8:15 AM-4:15 PM Monday-Friday. We are hoping to fill two full-time positions and one part-time morning position.
We also have a position available for a part-time Noon Duty on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. As a Noon Duty, you would supervise students at lunch recess between 11:45am-1:00pm.
Applications are available on the district website or call the office for additional details.
Thanksgiving Food Boxes
The holidays are quickly approaching, and that can be a challenging economic time for families. Discovery partners with multiple community agencies throughout the valley to provide Thanksgiving food to families in need. Please reach out to Miss Owens if your family would benefit from receiving a package of food for you to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner.
Fit for Fun!
Once again, Discovery is partnering with Wahooz to offer a fun fitness incentive for our students! Students who exercise 30 minutes a day for a total of 20 hours during the months of October and November can turn in their completed exercise log to earn a WAHOOZ Ultimate Unlimited Fun Pass! Exercise logs, complete with parent signature, are due to Mrs. Jensen or Mr. Padour by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1st, 2023. Students will be learning about this opportunity in their Health and PE classes, but I wanted parents to get the information as well. Below is the exercise log you can download and print in case your child missed getting one in class.
Thanks for supporting our efforts in keeping our kids active both in school and outside of school!
~Mrs. Jensen, PE Specialist
Volunteers needed!
We want to thank the parents who have been volunteering their time to help scan cards for our Discovery Dashers Run/Walk Club. We are still in need of more help, especially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays!
If this is something that might fit into your schedule, we’d love to have you! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jensen (Jensen.Jessica@westada.org) Thanks!
Pleasant View Community Turkey Trot
The 4th Annual Pleasant View Community Turkey Trot 5k or Turkey Scramble 1k will take place on Nov. 11th at 9:00 am. Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself and have fun with friends and family! We can't wait to see you at the starting line!
5K Runners will be chip-timed. All 1K and 5K runners will receive a t-shirt (register by the 25th to guarantee your size) and 5k participants will be entered into a drawing for over 60 great prizes. All kids will receive a race medal and top 5K runners will receive trophies.
After the run, enjoy music, a photo booth, and snacks from our food truck vendor.
The Pleasant View Turkey Trot is organized by an all-volunteer committee. 100% of the race proceeds and donations support Pleasant View Elementary. This year we are raising funds for Teacher Grants, field trips and PTA funded school programs.
