Chadron Primary School

This week Mrs. Smith brought her 7th grade students to Chadron Primary so they could share some Ebooks with our Kindergarten classes.  The students were quite excited about having the middle school students come read and the teachers enjoy seeing their former students excel.  Thank you so very much Mrs. Smith for bringing your students over.

• On Wednesday, December 21st we will be hosting our Holiday Meal in the lunchroom.  A bright green sheet was sent home earlier this week - please return this (along with your money) if you are planning to attend. Parents and other family members are welcome to come and eat with their child.  Guest meals are $3.40 each (for all ages).  Please make arrangements at the office for payment prior to the meal.  RSVP no later than MONDAY 12-12-16. Times for lunches will be different during the Holiday Meal in order to accommodate our guests:

I am one of the "Lucky Ones" who truly enjoys going to work every day... I am surrounded by amazing adults and little people that help make me a better person and the world a better place.  Not every day is full of unicorns and rainbows and during the holiday rush it is often easy to get caught up in the business of life; however, walking into the Primary Building today, I was reminded of how blessed we are.  Every adult and child was greeted by randomly placed sticky notes left as positive affirmations.

Chadron Primary School and our Parent Involvement group is on the lookout for Lego Bricks... The group is planning a Penny Carnival set for February 17, 2017 and as a part of the games and activities we are seeking new or gently used Lego bricks.  If you would like to purchase and or donate any Lego bricks you can send them with your child or drop them off at the Chadron Primary School Office.  We will be accepting any Lego brick donations from now until the date of the Penny Carnival.

As a part of a community health initiative, the nursing class at the University of Nebraska Medical Center - College of Nursing is partnering with the Panhandle Public Health District and Scottsbluff County Health Department to raise awareness about the hazards of lead poisoning in young children.  Following are some resources that help promote the health and wellness of children.  Please check out the resources below and share with others to enhance awareness about the hazards of lead poisoning in young children.

Mrs. Landreth's class has been discussing democracy in Kindergarten and today they exercised their right to vote!  They had ballots, voting stations, and will celebrate the vote with a celebration.  The children have been excited to learn about voting and having their voices heard.  What a fun activity!
The ballot

Mrs. Stephanie Cogdill (2nd grade teacher) was recently awarded Teacher of the Month honors.  This award is sponsored by Upper Niobrara White Natural Resources District as well as Eagle Radio (KCOW, Double Q Country, B 94.7, and Panhandle Post).  A gift basket and treats for Mrs. Cogdill's class were also provided by Ta-Da Quilt Shop and Art Studio.  Mrs. Cogdill has been an amazing teacher with Chadron Public Schools and we at the Primary Building wish to congratulate her in this well deserved honor!

Thank you to all of the families and community that supported our Jump Rope for Heart day.  The children raised a tremendous amount of money and had a great time at the event!  Thank you again!
