This year, Anderson Elementary students had the opportunity to participate in a mock election! Students voted to select a fictional character for president, and our in-person students also voted on two school referendums. Voting took place last week on November 2nd and the results are linked below. Click on the link to see who won the Anderson Elementary Election.

Between November 9 and November 20, 2020, 3rd and 5th graders will be taking the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). The test consists of three short sections, 90 minutes of total test time, broken into nine 10-minute tests.

The CogAT is not an achievement test. Instead, it measures a student’s verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning abilities which can facilitate learning and problem-solving.

Wear Red White and Blue on Nov. 11th

We are looking forward to celebrating Veterans Day at Anderson School on Nov. 11th. As always, your child will learn more about veterans and have the opportunity to thank and honor the veterans in our community.

All of our students will be able to view a recorded virtual assembly that a team of our staff members is putting together. It will include an interview of Mr. Jarot talking with one of his older brothers who has been serving in the USMC for almost 20 years. Our Anderson Orchestra will be playing "America the Beautiful", and our students will be able to show their thanks and appreciation through a variety of activities.

The video link will be sent to all families Wednesday afternoon. Your students will get the first viewing during the day. :)
