Pizza and a Bedtime Story

Visitors to the Book Fair had an extra treat! Families could buy pizza, juice, and cookies before and after they did their shopping. Readers were scattered throughout the building as well. Younger siblings ~ and students ~ enjoyed listening to a variety of stories read by our volunteer readers.

Polar Plunge

What an exciting Saturday afternoon! I had to go and check out the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics happening at Falls Landing! It was a beautiful day ~ outdoor temperature at 64 degrees and the announcer reported that the water temperature was at 58 degrees.

Checking out the water temperature with their dad (in the water!) are Noah - 1st grade, Isaac - 5th grade, and younger brother Daniel - not yet in school. Noah and Isaac attend Fred Assam Elementary School. They all raised money for Special Olympics and got to jump, too! Brandon Valley School District had two teams ~ BE teachers (5th grade FAE teacher Mr. Woodle jumped with that team) and HS teachers (principals Mr. Freking and Mrs. Heyden jumped with that team). Fun was had by jumpers and the many spectators that watched the event! Way to go, Isaac, Noah & Daniel! We are proud of you!!

More 3rd grade math multipliers!

A job well done! Both Jackson and Audrey have finished the multiplication section of Math Facts in a Flash!

Who's This Easter Bunny?

Easter Bunny visits Second Grade

I happened to be visiting second grade last Thursday ~ and suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door and in walked . . . THE EASTER BUNNY! This little bunny stood only about 4 feet tall (not counting her ears!) and was loaded down with Easter goodies for the second grade students. Students and staff alike squealed with delight as she made her way around the room ~ a cute little wiggle to that tail on her behind! Please enjoy these wonderful pictures on our own 2nd grade Easter bunny (AKA Destiny).

Peter Pan

1st and 2nd grade students were treated to an afternoon at the theatre today! Brandon Valley High School is presenting the play Peter Pan this week. Wednesday afternoon was the first public performance ~ matinee ~ for elementary students from the District. Congratulations to Jenna S., Trey R., Mason B., Johnny H., Lexi H., Kaylee M., Kaija M., and Tanya T.! These Fred Assam Elementary students auditioned and were selected to participate in the play. They have participated in many long hours of rehearsal and performance. "KUDOS" to the cast and crew of Peter Pan for their amazing performance today! Once again, Brandon Valley students have blown me away with their commitment to excellence! The Performing Arts Center is a fabulous facility and definitely adds to the excitement for elementary students (and adults) of going to the theatre. If you haven't purchased your tickets to see Peter Pan ~ call now! You won't be disappointed!
