In November we take the time to reflect on the things we are thankful for. We start with appreciating our First Nation students. November is Native American Heritage Month. We continue being thankful on November 1st where we will hold our October Celebration Assembly for our awesome students. Orchards is full of great kids! There will be no school on Friday the 8th. Progress reports are due and staff will be at an adult training opportunity event. Veteran’s Day is the 11th. Stay tuned on how we will appreciate our Veterans this year. PTA will hold their November meeting on the 12th at 6pm in room 9. We will have a Scholastic Book Fair on the 20th and 21st. On Thursday the 21st the Science/GT, Title 1 and PTA are joining forces to host a STEAM/Literacy night. There will be pizza, fun science and literacy activates and the book fair! WHEW! So much learning going on at Orchards and so much to be thankful for. Our Thanksgiving break runs from the 27th through the 29th with classes resuming Monday, December 2nd. WHAT! DECEMBER! PTA will be sending out applications for this year’s Reflections. Reflections is a National PTA sponsored opportunity for our kids to show off their amazing artistic talents. This years theme is “Accepting Imperfections”. Orchards has some truly talented artists, and the available art categories are Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography and Visual Arts. Check out PTA’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/434270083826859 to find out how to submit your student’s work.
Attendance has been amazing at Orchards! Almost every class has had multiple opportunities to roll the dice for a prize. Extra recess, popcorn parties, freeze pops and (my personal favorite), movie in the gym! Fourth grade got to watch Hocus Pocus, in the gym, in the dark, with their blankets and stuffies. Good job Orchards kids for showing up ready to learn!
