Just a little Thursday fun!
“Anything But a Cup Day” for our faculty and staff brought plenty of questions and giggles from our students—and showcased some seriously creative ideas from our many participants!
Sometimes, a little silliness is just what we need to brighten the day!

Habit 1: Be Proactive Winners!
Congratulations to Sierra, Jacye, Ella, Maggie, Jacob, Slade, Clayton, and Wrenley—our Habit 1: Be Proactive raffle winners!
These students earned raffle tickets by making good choices, being responsible, taking ownership instead of blaming others, and focusing on their Circle of Control rather than things they cannot control.
Way to take charge and BE PROACTIVE, Hawks! #LeaderInMe

Are you a “Bucket Filler?” We hope so!
After reading "How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids" with Ms. Allison in the Computer/STEM Lab, our kindergarten and first-grade students put their creativity and kindness into action! They engineered their own buckets and then practiced “dripping” words of encouragement, kindness, and positivity into their classmates’ buckets.
Keep filling those buckets, friends!

Observing Constitution Week!
Our second-, third-, and fourth-grade students learned more about the U.S. Constitution in the media center this week. They explored the history and importance of this remarkable founding document, signed on September 17, 1787—239 years ago!
A special thank-you to the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sequoya Chapter, for sharing fact-filled Constitution bookmarks with our students. We appreciate your help in teaching our students more about our nation's history!

Mrs. Allen’s PreK class is ready for fall!
At their art station, our little artists drew and painted beautiful leaves. Maybe all this fall-inspired creativity will encourage Mother Nature to send us some cooler temperatures soon!
“Have You Seen My Hat?”
Jon Klassen’s amazing book "I Want My Hat Back" was a wonderful springboard for learning in the media center this week!
Our first graders practiced “reading between the lines” as they made inferences about the story and its characters.
Meanwhile, our PreK and kindergarten friends focused on the importance of honesty and explored the consequences of lying.
We also have something new to share! All of our first graders are testing out our new Library Bags. These bags will help carry their library books and, hopefully, provide an extra layer of protection—especially from those sneaky water bottle leaks!
