Info on 5th Grade Field Trip on Fri. 11/22:
If a student wishes to purchase anything from the concessions at the arena, they will need to bring a prepaid debit card. The arena is cashless. However, the circus activities that are sponsored by the circus can be paid for with cash (camel rides, face painting, etc.).
Last week, South Elementary 1st Graders celebrated World Kindness Day with a kindness-focused ELA Unit using the text "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed."
Students took part in several kindness challenges, including making thank you notes for community helpers, posting kind words of affirmation around the school, sending cards to Mr. Warstadt, writing positive messages on the sidewalk in front of the school, and much more! Students were able to apply their ELA and writing skills to put kindness into action, and learned the value of paying it forward. #WildcatExcellence #WorldKindnessDay
Last week, South Elementary Teacher Mrs. Porterfield got to attend the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. This was a professional learning experience provided by the Sonic Foundation and Warsaw Sonic group.
