Success Week - I am a CHAMPION, you are going to see me SOAR!


Success Week
I am a champion you are going to see me SOAR!
March 31- April 4

Success Week Information
Our third and fourth grade students will be taking the MAP state assessment April 7-18.  They are ready to take the test and we want to celebrate all their hard work.  This is a week for all the students and teachers to reflect on all the successes they have had so far and look forward to the ones ahead.  Everyone is a champion and we want to see everyone SOARING this week! 

Service Project – Find A Friend Bench
All students are encouraged to bring money from their piggy bank (no bigger than a dollar) to donate to the Find A Friend Bench campaign.  The money will be used to purchase a bench for the playground.  The bench will be a place students can go sit when they are feeling lonely and want a friend to play with. You can read this article to see where our students got their inspiration from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/03/second-grader-buddy-bench_n_4378248.html.  The plan is for the bench to be available at the start of next year. 

OB Champions – Need Pictures
We would like to have pictures of all of our students being a champion to display in the hallways.  Please send in a picture of your child being a champion by March 28 to the attention of Mrs. Arnold.  Some examples might be of them participating in an organization like girl scouts, a sport, playing an instrument, painting, volunteering, dancing, the possibilities are endless.
