Our Eagles have the freedom to soar above because of the dedication, duty, and sacrifices of those who paved the way and served. Today, and everyday, we honor our veterans. Happy Veterans Day. Thank you and your families for your service.
Just a reminder that today is our Annual Veterans Day Program. Our Veterans are asked to sign-in at the main office, then they are welcome to eat with their students beginning at 12:15. The program will begin at 1:00. A copy of the program, as well as a list of names will follow on Facebook later today.
Tomorrow, Thursday, November 9, 2023, we will be honoring our Veterans with a School Day Program in the afternoon in honor of Veterans Day on the 11th. Friends and Relatives of our students who are Veterans have been invited to the school for a luncheon beginning at 12:15, with a program in their honor to follow. In order to ensure that we don't miss any of our Vets, we will not be pre-printing a program, however, once we have a roster from tomorrow, we will honor them again on social media this weekend. The program will include readings and music from our students, participation from the PHS JROTC Color Guard, a roll call of veterans in attendance, as well as we will be honoring the memory of one of our vets. The program will begin at approx. 1:00.
It's been a busy couple of weeks and students are doing great with their iReady Diagnostic, gearing up for the Veteran's Day Program tomorrow, and soaring like Eagles do. Just wanted to take the time to play catch-up and recognize our kids and highlight a couple of fun things. First, our kids had a visit from "Pumpkin Bones," a character in a song that they worked on in music class. Pumpkin Bones surprised students at lunch last week, as well as awarded winners from a class coloring contest.
Those winners were:
Wesley Harvey, Avery Wilt, Waverly Calhoun, Ava Calhoun, Liddy Funk, Asalynn Smith, Raylee Swisher, Lochlan Daugherty, Liam Grose, Remy Reckart, Cooper Rinehart, Owen Calhoun and Laveah Jennings.
Just a reminder that tomorrow is the monthly PTO meeting beginning at 6:00, followed by our monthly LSIC meeting. All are invited and welcome to attend. Tomorrow also begins our next round of iReady testing. Please encourage your student to take their time and do their best.

1st 9 Weeks’ PBIS Reward
Tuesday, October 31, 2023
Tomorrow, October 31st, students who have earned their PBIS Reward for the 9 weeks will be given the opportunity to participate in fall-themed classroom parties in the elementary classes, a Halloween-themed, school appropriate movie in grades 4-8, and then an illusionist show, featuring Extreme Illusions and Escapes from Josh Knotts. Students earn points daily for behavior and meeting classroom expectations. Students were made aware of these expectations and the goal prior to the points start-date.
Your student ___________________________ did / did not earn the incentive.
If your student earned the incentive and you choose for them to opt-out, please sign and return this form tomorrow, October 31st. Although, they will not be a part of the remediation group, that is the room where they will need to go, but rather than do the additional assignments, they can use their school devices or read. All of PK-3 will be participating in their classroom activities. Their incentive part is solely the illusionist show. Grades 4-8 who don’t meet expectations will report to the remediation room at 11:06 for the remainder of the day, with those elementary reporting at 11:45 for their showtime, then back to their rooms at 12:30. 4-8 will be watching a movie from 11:06-1:00, then reporting at 1:05 for their :45 min show.
I do not want my student to participate: ___________________________________________
