Gunner Frederick was nominated this week for the "Good News Call" by Mrs. Lisa Millar. Mrs. Millar watched while Gunner quietly helped another student put his ball away when the recess bell rang. Gunner knew the child might not want to put the ball away, so he made it into a game by having him “shoot the ball" into the storage bin”. Gunner told him "Great Job," gave him a high five, and a hug and then said, “Let’s go line up”…..and they lined up together. Thanks for making school great for everyone, Gunner, and for helping others find success in their school day.
We are encouraging all students and staff members to wear blue, yellow, and white tomorrow to show our support for the country of Ukraine. As you may know, we have a student at Platte-Geddes Elementary who is from Ukraine and has many family members currently living in Ukraine. We care deeply about the child and her family, and she is a beloved member of our elementary school.
Therefore, tomorrow we want to show her and her family that we support them. Her mother has told me their extended family is currently doing well and is not near the violence. However, I do have a couple of links that the family shared with me that they support and trust if you wish to also support Ukraine. Please let me know and I will share them with you. Blessings, Jennifer
Landry Hanson was nominated for the “Good News Call” by her classroom teacher, Mrs. Darcie DuFrain, for being a great helper in the classroom. She notices what needs to be done and is always offering to help her teacher. Landry wipes tables, cleans up scraps from the floor, and is always in a good mood! She is simply a JOY to have around the classroom! And, our Shout Out for the month of March is Positive Attitude! Landry is a fine example of a helping hand with a positive attitude. Thank you, Landry, for being an AWESOME kiddo!

We had a "Good News Call" that went out yesterday to 5th grader Hank Veurink. Hank is often observed to be assisting our younger students. He helps them to make good decisions, transition in from recess, and he helps them when they are injured or having a tough day. Hank is an example of a student who notices children in need of assistance and takes the time to stop and help. Thank you for setting a fine example for our littles and thank you for being a daily example of "DTRT or Do The Right Thing". Thanks for being such a great kid, Hank!
