Congratulations to our Belmont Spelling Bee Champion, 5th grader, Abram Abner! Abram will represent us at the Johnson County Spelling Bee on February 3rd! We're also excited to share that our Runner-Up was 3rd grader, Wyatt Miller! Excellent work, gentlemen!

Every year students have the opportunity to participate in the Kindest Kansas Citian contest. Student participation is optional. It is a one-page drawing (K-2) or essay (3-5) demonstrating the positive impact the nominee has made on the student’s life, written by the student. Contest judges are looking to identify kind acts that come from the heart. Students will discuss the contest briefly during their January 8-19 counselor lesson, but no paperwork will be sent home; all information is available in the Paw Print.

The entries must be submitted online through the link below and is best done at home due to information needed, such as parent phone number, email address, and nominee’s full name. The submission will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian or the student. The contest’s due date is Friday, February 16th. : https://kindestkansascitian.org/public-essay-submission?teacher_id=590

Belmont will have a slideshow to honor the students and their nominees. If you have a photo of the nominee you would like to be included in the slideshow, please email it to Miss Arbaugh.

If you have any questions, please let Miss Arbaugh know: narbaugh@usd232.org

We would like for you to nominate any teacher whom you consider to be an outstanding and effective educator. This person must have completed 5 years of teaching with at least 2 of them having been in USD 232. If there is a USD 232 educator whom you believe to be outstanding and deserving of special recognition, please fill out the nomination form at www.usd232.org/ktoy .

Purchase of a yearbook is absolutely optional! To guarantee your child's copy, however, preorders are strongly encouraged. There are generally a few extras for us to sell on a first-come, first-served basis in May, but that's a gamble. Online orders will be accepted until Friday, March 1, 2024. $15 each!
