ALL books are to be returned or paid for by May 11th.   

Please note: Students that do not have their library account cleared by field day, will be cleaning in the library instead of going to field day.  Also, an uncleared account will follow them to the next grade & they will not be able to check out until they have either paid for or returned the book.

Mission K9 Rescue Service Project

This year our 1st grade students have been donating coins for Mission K9 Rescue. We will be presenting their donation during our Patriotic Program on Tuesday, May 22nd. Donations are still being collected. Let’s finish strong!

mission-k9-rescueMazzie, a war dog who was abandoned in Kuwait after his service visited our classroom in January.  We learned about the sacrifices many dogs are making to protect the lives of our soldiers.  Unfortunately, these dogs can be left behind after their work is done. Mission K-9 Rescue is striving to Rescue, Reunite, Re-Home, Rehabilitate and Repair any retired working dog that has served mankind in some capacity.

This year for one of 1st Grade service learning projects we will be collecting coins to donate to Mission K-9 Rescue. 

As a First Grade we have been learning that everyone can serve and help others through stories such as “The Lion and the Mouse”. Though our children may be young, they too can make an important difference and our small contributions of a coin here and a few coins there will truly add up to something great.

We are also learning about financial literacy principles; for example, we are learning about the principle of saving and we are learning that, to earn money, one must work.  We are encouraging our students to do extra jobs at home for family or friends to earn coins to add to our Mission K-9 Rescue fund.

We have an exciting field trip planned for Friday May 18th to the Hill Aerospace Museum. We are in need of volunteers for chaperones. We have 3 spots available to ride the bus. However, if you are willing to drive yourself anyone is welcome. If you have small children you are welcome to bring them as long as you can manage a small group of first graders as well. We will be leaving first thing in the morning to get to the museum by 9am and will return around 1pm. 

Click here  to sign up to chaperone.
