CAMANCHE ELEMENTARY: ENDGAME OF HUNGER
Nick Fury once said: “There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if we could become something more.” He was referring to the Avengers. I however, am referring to our Camanche Elementary students! We need our group of remarkable students to come together to help the Camanche Food Pantry! Our annual food drive will start on Monday, October 28th and it will end on Friday, November 15th. Each classroom will be an Avenger trying to get to the end of the bulletin board to take the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the infinity stones away from Thanos! The winning class at the end of each week will earn an extra recess and the winning class at the end of the food drive receives an extra recess, a special hero treat, and the Food Drive traveling trophy! The number of non-perishable items and/or amount of money donated ($.50 equals one non-perishable item) will be counted daily and each classroom’s Avenger will be on the bulletin board by the cafeteria. You can’t fight Thanos alone, that’s why the CES Avengers must come together to end hunger. Avengers assemble!
THANK YOU
Nurse Kathy and Miss Kerry in the health office would like to give a big shout out to CES parents, staff, PTA, and community volunteers for making this year’s Genesis Flu Clinic a huge success! Without everyone pulling together as a team and pitching in the way they did, we could not have accomplished all that we were able to do. Thank you again for all of the hard work!
DAY OF AWESOMENESS
The NEW date for the PTA’s Day of Awesomeness here at CES is Monday, October 21st. There will be an epic Step It Up obstacle course, a DJ dance party, and other prizes! Please send your child with an extra pair of socks on this day!
CES READING GOAL
As a school, we set a goal of reading 109,000 minutes in the month of October. So far, we have read 46,500 minutes. We will wear hats on November 11th if/when we reach our goal. If we do not reach our entire school goal the class that exceeds their goal the most will get to wear hats. Thank you for helping support this work!
ATTENDANCE
If your student is going to be absent, will arrive late, or needs to leave early, please make sure to call the main office no later than 9 a.m. on the day of the absence, tardy, or early dismissal.
Our attendance is currently 97.11%. As a school, we have set a goal of 96.5%. Thank you for working with us to reach that goal, EVERY DAY matters.
