Dear Platte-Geddes Elementary Parents.
We had a large walk-in freezer and cooler that stopped working over the Easter weekend. Therefore, our lunch menu will change due to food items we lost. Here is the updated lunch menu for the remainder of this week:
Wednesday: Italian Meatball Sub or a Cheeseburger and broccoli
Thursday: Beef and Cheese Wrap or BBQ Meatball Subs and corn
Friday: Chili w/corn chips or Cheese Pizza and carrots
We apologize for the inconvenience. Next week we will be back on track with our original April menu. Thank you!
The South Central Conference Track Meet scheduled for today has been postponed until Thursday.

We are PROUD of YOU!

World Down Syndrome Day....."Rock Your Socks" to celebrate the uniqueness of YOU!!
The Good News Call today goes out to Zana Zephier. Zana was nominated by her teacher, Mrs. Patzlaff. Mrs. Patzlaff stated that Zana has been doing great work in school. She comes to school with her work all done and ready to turn in. She has read her assignments and contributes to class discussion. And she even chose to miss a portion of her recess yesterday to have her IXL's done before heading home. Her awesome schoolwork and attitude are truly something to celebrate. Keep up the great work, Zana!
On Monday, March 22, 2021, we ask your children to join us in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day. The day is actually celebrated on Sunday, March 21 (always on 3-21 for 3 copies of the 21st chromosome....). On that day, we celebrate our uniqueness and our differences that make us all wonderful individuals. We will honor the day by "Rocking our Socks". Kids can wear colorful, mismatched, or their favorite socks that day.
The snow fun continues for one more day......
More fun in the snow at recess.......
Kids LOVE snow and kids LOVE recess. This snow was perfect for a snowman!

Reece Burket, Oakley DuFrain, and Briggs Veurink spoke on behalf of the second-grade class at the Geddes City Council meeting on Monday, March 8th. Their class would like to add a park bench, life size jenga game, and a fire pit to the Geddes Park. All of the projects were researched and voted on in their PBL (Problem-Based Learning) classroom. Problem-Based Learning is a classroom, designed around Social Studies and Science standards, that looks for problems in the community and incorporates a project around that problem. This class knows that Geddes is short on city workers and a small community of helpers, so they approach the city council yearly with their project and help. They are funded, through Modern Woodman, to pay for some of the materials they need to spruce up the park and materials for their new project. The second-graders will go to Geddes early May, along with some of their parents, to bring the park alive. Mrs. DuFrain and Mrs. Frandsen believe it is a great experience to show how to help others, learn about local government, and many other standards along the way.
