It’s hard to believe we’ve already completed the first nine weeks of the school year! We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and the amazing learning and growth we've seen. We are truly blessed with a wonderful community of students, staff, and families who help provide valuable learning experiences, support, and opportunities for our kids. Thank you to all our families for your ongoing support! Report cards will come home on October 25th.

Today, we were fortunate to have our annual visit from the Ferdinand Fire Department as part of Fire Prevention Week. The students always enjoy this opportunity. We also celebrated the end of the nine weeks with a fun event that included a hayride, bouncy house, pumpkin painting, pumpkin bowling, and smores! A huge thank you to our Parent Committee, Teacher Committee, parent volunteers, and everyone who donated snacks. We had a blast!

Next week is Fall Break, and there will be no school. We hope our students, staff, and families take this time to rest and recharge. When we return, we’re excited to host Grandparents Day on Friday, October 25th. More information can be found below.

We look forward to welcoming all of our students back on Monday, October 21st!

This week we talked about Mr. Browne's precept: Your Deeds are Your Monuments

Ask your child if they remember what this means. We discussed how we will be remebered by our actions and how we treat others and not remembered by what we look like, how much money we have, or other ways. People will remember us for the way we act and what we do for others.

If you and your family would like to read the book at home here is a breakdown of where will be in the book throughout the first semester.

Importance of Hydration

This month, I want to focus on hydration and the importance of including water in our every day routine. Each day, our students are active at school during PE and recess. With activity, our bodies require more fluids to give us the energy we need. By promoting hydration, we are helping our students bring their best selves to school to promote their learning and growth.

When we become dehydrated, our minds and bodies cannot perform to their best ability. We become tired, can’t think clearly, and become less attentive. Sometimes, this can create behavior challenges in our students while at school. Please make it a priority to send water, and only water, with your student to school in a water bottle that cannot spill. Please avoid sending soda and sugary drinks, as those do not provide the hydration needed and increases their risk of having a sugar crash.

We talk with the students often regarding health topics to promote our Ranger Ready skills here at school. So this month, let’s work together and push our students to drink 5-6 cups of water every day! Please help remind them that water is best to fuel their bodies to be the best they can be!

If you have any highlights from your family's fall break you can share them in the following link for the Ranger Report.
