Donna Baller, "Nana", talked to Mrs. Andrews' class about the heroes of 9/11. The first graders also wrote about heroes.

This "Ocean of Art" bulletin board was created by Mrs. Kesler and the students at Orchard Hills for the art room! It looks awesome!

On Thursday, we had a super fun assembly to help kickoff our school fundraiser! Teachers performed skits of what to do (and what not to do) when gathering donations for our school, and Mrs. Collins, a member of our PTA, gave us information about the fundraiser. 

Vision screenings will take place for all students on September 18th.  Kids who wear glasses or contacts should make sure to wear them that day. 

Reflections is an awesome program our school takes part in every year, where students can submit original works of art based on a certain theme. This year's Reflections theme is "Look Within." Students may create an original work of art from six categories: visual arts, photography, literature, music composition, dance choreography, and film production. Entries should be turned in to the office by October 25th. There will be more details coming home, but your students can start thinking about things they would like to do to participate.

Mrs. McMullin asked Sandy Wall to come talk to her class about setting SMART goals. Sandy’s daughter, Addley Wall, is in Mrs. McMullin’s class this year. Sandy taught the class to not be afraid to fail. She explained that you will fail more than you will succeed, but through hard work and dedication you can achieve anything.
