Weekly Parent Update - November 6

This has been a busy week at Ellendale! We have been working hard to prepare for family night. I hope you are all planning to attend...it will be so much fun! The classroom plates look so beautiful. 5th grade has also prepared a special quilt. The plates and the quilt will be auctioned at 8pm. Immediately after, we will announce the winner of the pie thrower contest will be announced! I can't wait to see how that turns out! I can't wait to see you all Saturday.

School newsletters went home with students this week along with the calendar for November. I also sent a ethnicity form that the state of NC requires we complete for every child. Please get these forms back to school as soon as possible.

I am excited to invite you to attend our first Veterans Day Assembly. This assembly will take place on Tuesday of next week. Our program will begin at 1:30. If you, your spouse, family member or friend is a veteran, please invite them to be our special guest of honor for this program. We are asking each veteran to arrive at 1pm. The program will be in our school gym.

Parent Update - Nov. 2

Wow, where did Oct. go? The year is just flying by us! We are very busy this week preparing for Family Night. We have many special activities planned for this Saturday, Nov. 7 so I hope to see you all there! Dinner will be available from 4 - 7. Games from 5-7. Auction sign-ups will be from 7 - 7:30. The auction will begin at 7:30. During the auction we will auction our annual classroom plates. Also, this year, I am sure you are all excited to see the first ever pie-throwing event, which will also take place during the auction. We are have a coin drive to see who gets to throw the pie. Right now, Mr. Mays has quite a lead on me! I better clean out my change buckets! :) We could use volunteers so if you can help out in any way, please call the front office. We are also still accepting chicken orders and donations for our auction.

Teachers have been very busy the last few weeks closing out the first grading period. Assessments have been given, conferences held, and report cards sent home. I was very pleased with the progress of our students on report cards. Keep encouraging your kids to do their absolute best every day!

Monthly newsletters for the month of Nov will come home this week. Attached you will find an invitation to our first ever Veterans Day Assembly. If you, your spouse, a family member, or friend is a Veteran, please invite him or her to our assembly next week on Tuesday, Nov. 10. We are very excited about this opportunity to honor our Veterans for their selfless sacrifice to our country. We welcome your attendance! The event begins at 1:30 in our school gym.
