Administrative Notes
 

Mrs. Shaw: Principal

          

Spirit Week

We are now in the middle of Spirit Week and we have been having lots of fun! We started the week with School T-shirts (supplied by our wonderful PTFS) on Monday. Tuesday, the PTFS provided leis to wear for Hawaiian Day and a hot dog lunch. Wednesday seems to be really popular. Today is pajama day and we had breakfast for lunch! Still to come, Thursday is school colors day. Be sure to wear blue, yellow and white. Friday will be normal jeans day but we are wearing hats. Whether it is crazy, colorful or classy, this is the day for hats!

            Thank you so much to our wonderful PTFS for supplying free hot lunch every day this week! They have worked extra hours and provided T-shirts, contests, and food. Spirit week would not be the same without their hard work and creativity.

 

Library Day

            Thursday, September 24th is our second library day. As long as the weather is nice we want to make a trip to the library every two weeks or so. Be sure to send library cards with the students. We will be walking to the library and parents will pick up students at the library at regular pick-up time.

  

Field Trip Time!

On October 8, we will be going on our first all school field trip of the year. We will be going to Queysmaze for fun on the farm. We will experience a hay ride, the corn maze, a hay pyramid, and each student will receive a small pumpkin. The farm is located next to the Bruneau Sand Dunes State park so we will need parent drivers. We will be leaving Shiloh at 11:15. If you can be one of these parent drivers, please contact Mrs. Shaw or Mrs. Rubino.

Please bring a sack lunch so we can eat as soon as we arrive in Bruneau. After lunch, we will learn about Idaho and about the foods grown on our local farms. We will have plenty of time for all the activities and still arrive back at school in time for parent pick-up. Cost of admission is based on each student’s grade; up to third grade will cost $3.00, fourth thru sixth will be $4.00 and older students will be $5.00. Parent chaperones have an admission cost of $2.00. There are also larger pumpkins for sale so you have the option of sending a few dollars extra to purchase one of these. They are a better price than your local supermarket and it gives the students a more experiential relationship to the agriculture of our region.

            Please be sure your student brings the following:

                        Jacket (light or heavy, depending on weather)

                        Sack Lunch

                        Cost of admission


             

Classroom Updates
 

Mrs. Shaw: Room 1

            Every Friday, all students in Kindergarten through second grade are welcome to bring an item for show and tell. This activity is not only popular with the students; it helps them explain their thoughts and ideas, develop clear speech and become comfortable speaking in front of others. The student will need to explain what this item is (or what it does) and why they chose to bring this particular item. Please send items in a paper bag or in their backpacks. This prevents distractions and they really enjoy surprising the rest of the class with their choices. 
 
           If a student wants to bring a "live" item for show and tell, please speak to Mrs. a week prior to the visit to make arrangements. The "live" item (whether pet, insect, or visitor) will need to be brought to the classroom by an adult in the last few minutes of the school day. Mrs. Shaw will make sure that all other activities are cleaned up and ready to go.
           Progress reports for room 1 are hopefully due out on Friday (or maybe Monday).

 
Mrs. Rubino: Room 2
        This has been an awesome spirit week! Thank you so much PTFS for all of the hot lunches and fun activities! The students have had a blast.
              Progress Reports went out this week. Thank you for returning them so quickly. Can you believe that we're already halfway through the quarter? Lots of fun in store so keep checking your e-mail and reading the students' planners for updates.
