Fun Run

Remember to log onto funrun.com to enter pledges for our Boosterthon fundraiser.  We have had tons of fun learning about friendship during our Camp High Five meetings.  We are so excited about next week's FunRun.  Don't forget to return your permission slips before next Wednesday.  We will all need to wear our camp t-shirts on the big day!  We're looking forward to an exciting event as we raise money for our school by running laps with the Boosterthon team.  We can earn individual and class prizes based on our pledges!

Super-hero Walk to School Day

We had so much fun during our Super-hero walk to school week.  We dressed like a different super-hero everyday.  On Wednesday we dressed like our favorite super-hero and walked around the school.  Dr. Patterson and Mrs. Skinner surprised us when they dressed as super-heroes that rode to school on their bikes!  We also were visited by the Boiling Springs cheerleaders and bulldog and Wofford cheerleaders and the terrier.  We ended our day with a pep rally and teacher game show.   What an exciting day!
                             


Fire department visit

     We enjoyed our visit from the Boiling Springs Fire Department on October 1, 2013.  Thank you firefighters for sharing fire safety facts with us.  The firemen reminded us that we need to have working smoke detectors in our home.  We also need to change the batteries in those detectors when we change our clocks.   If anyone does not have smoke detectors in their home, they will be glad to provide one for your family.
     They also gave us homework! They wanted us to check our smoke detectors, practice fire drills at home (just like at school), and establish a family meeting place.  It was exciting to see the fire truck up close.  Students also got a chance to see a fireman in uniform and meet the fire department mascot.  At the end of the day students were excited to get their very own firefighter hat.  Boys and girls, remember to do your fire safety homework the fire fighters assigned us!



 




Caterpillar

Danikah was very excited when she found a caterpillar on the playground.  We had just learned about the differences between living and non-living things.  We researched it and found out that it will turn into a dagger moth very soon.
