One of our favorite days in the Alphabet Countdown is "F is for Read with a Flashlight"!
Jase Griesse was nominated for the “Good News Call” by several teachers and staff members. The teachers have noticed Jase being a friend and helper to his classmates throughout the school year. Jase has been observed numerous times in the classroom, at PE, and at recess being an exceptional and KIND friend to others. He takes time to help others when they are in need, putting their needs ahead of his own. He is patient, compassionate, and shows empathy toward others. Thank you, Jase for showing the Panther Way of Kindness. We appreciate your kindness and your outstanding model of being a true friend!
We have another Good News Call going out this morning to Mason Schrank. Mason was "caught doing a good deed" by a teacher who noted that he had spent time playing with and encouraging a student who needed a friend. Mason is a good friend to others. Thank you for modeling the Panther Way Expectation of KINDNESS, Mason!
The “Good News Call” today goes out to Logan Ringling. Logan received the “Good News Call” for a “random act of kindness”. Thank you, Logan, for the kind act and for being an example of kindness to others. "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted!"
Thank you for modeling the Panther Way Expectation of KINDNESS!!
Dude Choir is a group of PG boys that meet once a week before school starts to sing songs they know and enjoy off the radio. We have also met right after lunch to jam. There is no audition, and all are welcome. The kids and the teacher get to pick songs and we just enjoy the art of singing. We finished up our Dude Choir performances this semester with a Bohemian Rhapsody rendition during Music In Our Schools Month in March. Enjoy the link is below!

Here is a link to the 4th Grade Recorder Karate Concert. Students practiced and then had mini tests on the songs. The students who got all the way to black belt received a pizza party! Congrats to all the 4th Grade musicians on some wonderful musicianship!

On Friday, the "Good News Call" went out to Cash Lantz and Easton Erickson. The boys dedicated their entire FLEX recess to playing with a student who needed a friend. They helped the child kick "free soccer kicks" for part of the recess and rebounded the basketball for him while he shot baskets for the rest of the recess. Thank you, Cash and Easton, for modeling the Panther Way Expectation of KINDNESS!
A huge thank you goes out to Janelle Weber and the Weber Cleaning Inc. crew who donated their time and services today to clean all of the elementary bathrooms.
We had a "Good News Call" on Thursday, April 13. The Good News Call went out to Marlee Meyerink! Marlee was caught doing at least 3 random acts of Kindness this past week. She quietly volunteered to move to another kickball team to keep the teams even at recess, she assisted children in the lunchroom with their lunch, and showed kindness through sharing with others. She has been observed throughout the building showing kindness, maturity, and compassion for others. Thank you Marlee for modeling "The Panther Way" for other students.
The second graders went to Geddes this week to meet with the Geddes City Council. They spoke to the members about their park project for this year and were granted permission to complete the project. Stay tuned for more details regarding the new park project.
