Our 5th grade leaders are making announcements on the loud speaker this week! Here is Tuesday's announcement.
"The Happiest School on Earth”, it’s Disney Day! We love seeing all the Disney spirit shining around our school today.
This week we are celebrating the Week of Respect, and just like Disney parks, our school can be the happiest place on Earth when we all work together to make it safe and welcoming. Remember that kind words, helpful hands, and respectful choices are the real magic that bring smiles to everyone’s day.

Our 5th grade leaders took the lead with running our Week of Respect assembly (with help from Mrs. Pepe and Mrs. Rygiel). Our whole school packed into the gym for positive messaging with a focus on this year's theme: We are Respectful, Responsible and Resilient. Dr. Duncan read one of his favorite books, Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon! Nothing gets Molly Lou down. As her grandmother told her, "Believe in yourself and the world will believe in you too!" Our word of the month, "Respect" was also revealed (as it was pulled out of our "pillars of character" treasure chest)! What a great morning!

Gwen and Ricki kicked off our Week of Respect with important messaging over the loudspeaker about spreading kindness and smiling when we see people. We encourage our 5th graders to take on leadership roles like these. Creating a welcoming environment can start with the smallest gestures and our 5th graders can help us promote these efforts! Thanks girls!

5th grade students enjoyed using our newly created outdoor classroom in art with Mrs. Davenport this week. They sketched from real-life fall objects—corn, leaves, and pumpkins—to create still life drawings. The focus was on sketching as a planning tool, practicing realistic drawing, and exploring composition. It was the perfect autumn setting to spark creativity!

Lochlan, one of our 5th grade student leaders, made an announcement about Yom Kippur to help inform our student body about fasting (for adults) or giving up things like candy or screen time (for kids) as is customary for preparing for the new year ahead. Thanks Lochlan!
