LES students in Stacey Manning's class have been learning about fall and pumpkins for the last few weeks. They read and listened to lots of stories about fall and pumpkins. Then, they wrote about what they do and see in the fall and made fall wreaths and a fall tree out of their wreaths. Students also explored the inside and outside of a pumpkin using their senses and then made a pumpkin and wrote about what they observed in the actual pumpkin. The class ended their pumpkin and fall unit by taking a trip to Lattin Farms Pumpkin Patch. What a great way to end such a fun unit.
NELC students had a visit from the Fallon Churchill Fire Department to review fire safety and prevention. Students learned about fire safety, the need for a home evacuation plan, and the importance of “stop, drop, and roll.” The FCFD also showed the students what they looked like in full uniform and gear to reduce fear in the event of a rescue. The students also enjoyed meeting Sparky, the fire department mascot.
Numa held a Family Fall Festival and Book Fair on October 19. Families shopped at the book fair and also enjoyed a variety of activities. “The festival was very well attended. We were truly overwhelmed by the support we received and cannot thank our staff, families, and community members enough for making this night such an incredible success,” said Counselor Noreen Swenson. All the proceeds from the book fair go to support the Numa library, and all the other money collected or donated during the evening went to Numa’s PTO fund to support student activities and supplies for students and teachers throughout the year.
CCMS students were given the opportunity to place a purple handprint on a ChurchillCSD bus after they took a pledge to use their hands for helping and not hitting. Domestic Violence Intervention, Inc. visited all ChurchillCSD schools this last week and taught students the importance of not using their hands for hitting. DVI believes visiting schools is an essential aspect of Domestic Violence Awareness Month because children are the future, and the cycle cannot be broken unless they are educated.
CCHS (not pictured) held a Fall Open house where students showed their parents what they have been learning. Principal Tim Spencer, “The turnout was more than I ever could have imagined.” Vice Principal Reema Pulsifer said there is truly no education without staff, teachers, students, families, and the community, “We promise that if you value your child’s learning, our schools grow and become better. I want to thank everyone involved and who attended for assisting us in building that bridge between CCHS and our community. Parents are not perfect, and neither are we - but together as a team, we can move mountains.”
