Greetings Chisholm Chargers!
It was great to see so many parents last night for the 1st of two nights of Parent/ Teacher Conferences. Next Tuesday, October 17th is the 2nd night of scheduled conferences, which will run from 4:30 to 8:00. Even though these conferences are scheduled by the district at this time before fall break, please don't hesitate to ask for a conference at any time during the school year.
Last week at Charge Up we were able to announce Jessica Tate as our Teacher of the Year, and today we were able to celebrate this recognition with her in person. Congratulations again Mrs. Tate for your selection as Chisholm's Teacher of the Year!
We wanted to remind you that next week is Fall Break. School will not be in session on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 19 & 20. The school will also not be in session on Monday, October 23rd as this is a district-scheduled professional development/ collaboration day. School will resume on Tuesday, October 24th. I hope you will be able to use this time out of school to do something fun and relaxing.
The week of October 24 through the 27 our school is celebrating Red Ribbon Week. The theme for this event is Celebrating Life with Healthy Choices. The dress-up days associated with this week are listed below.
On Friday, October 27, Chisholm will be conducting our annual Story Book Parade where students can dress up as their favorite book character. Our specials schedule will be adjusted for the day and will be concluded at 2:10 giving us time for the parade through the building followed by fall classroom parties. Students may wear their costumes to school during the day. We ask that students don't wear costumes that are scary or gory, and that they have a book for their inspiration during the parade.
Looking forward, our school will be celebrating Veteran's Day on Friday, November 10. Our school will be putting together a slideshow to show to students during class of family members of our Chisholm Family who have served our country. If you would like to add someone to this presentation, please use this link, which will take you to a form to enter the information and provide a photo to be added to the slideshow. So we have time to edit and add this information before November 10, we ask that you submit this information by November 1.
