With the temperatures well below 0, we have been enjoying our indoor recess activities. The kids LOVE the stacking cups and bean bags!!
Greetings from Platte-Geddes Elementary,
Mr. Cutler, Platte-Geddes Athletic Director, along with basketball players Jackson Olsen, Halle Sprik, Caden Foxley, and Addison DeVries visited our Kindergarten classrooms today to draw names for the "Future Panther" t-shirts, basketballs, and hats. The winners are pictured.
From Mrs. Holleman's classroom the winners were: t-shirt ~ Brooks Timmerman (it's his BIRTHDAY today!!😍); basketball ~ Braxton Burns (not pictured); hats ~ Noah Pokorny and Lilian Semmler.
From Mrs. DeVries' classroom the winners were: t-shirt ~ Crew Meyerink (not pictured); basketball ~ Elsie Konechne; hats ~ Sampson Reynolds and Norah DeWaard.
The basketballs were sponsored by Jingle Bell Beguins (Jeff and Jackie Olsen and family) this year.
The t-shirts were sponsored by Platte Food Center and C & D Electric this year.
And the hats were sponsored by the boys' basketball team.
Thank you,

The "Good News Call" went out this week to Braxton Veurink. Braxton was nominated for the call by Ember King for her kindness and help in the lunchroom. Braxton was placing her tray on the counter for Mike, our dishwasher, and she noticed the trays were all amiss. She took the time to organize every single tray for Mike. And Braxton is only in 1/2 day kindergarten! She has learned at a very young age the value of helping others, and of seeing a task that needs to be done for another and pitching in to help. Thank you, Braxton, for being a kind helper at school. She sure looks like one of Santa's helpers in her Christmas attire!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
We will have youth wrestling sign ups Tuesday December 14 following a parent meeting at 6:30 in the multipurpose room!

1/2 Day Kindergarten Friendship Feast
1/2 Day Kindergarten Friendship Feast
Our 1/2 day kiddos celebrated a "Friendship Feast" on Tuesday, November 23. Enjoy the photos of their celebration.
Mr. Bailey nominated Manny VanZee and Hayden Strand for the "Good News Call" for their act of kindness and their fine example of "Do the Right Thing" at the State Volleyball Tournament. Manny and Hayden found a billfold, which had several hundred dollars in it. The boys didn't even look at the cash; they found the name of the owner and realized that the man was from Chester. They found a coach from Chester, gave it to him, and asked that it be given to the rightful owner.
Thank you, Manny and Hayden, for your fine example of GREAT character. Thank you for the honesty and kindness shown to a stranger. Thank you for representing our school and our communities in such a fine manner! You are truly an example of FINE CHARACTER! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations to the Black Panther Volleyball team on their 3rd place finish at the state B tournament!
There will be a welcome home celebration for the team on Sunday at 6pm in the elementary gym. Everyone welcome!
