Reagan Elementary School News - November 2013

Principal’s Message


We at Reagan were very pleased with the inaugural Stampede-A-Thon and are looking forward to keeping it as a tradition for years to come.  As a school, we raised nearly $22,000 and will be able to use these funds to benefit all of our students this coming year.  Special recognition goes out to our grade level classroom winners who are:  Room 107 (4th grade), Room 205 (5th grade) and Room 305 (6th grade).  Those classes and individuals who raised at least $150 will be celebrating with pizza parties and ice cream sundaes on Thursday, November 14th, here at school.  In addition, I would like to recognize the two students in each grade level who turned in the most in pledges and they are: Adam Erickson and Skyler Lee in 4th grade, Khloe Hodges and Daniel Huerta in 5th grade, and Natalie Suarez and Owen Hollnagel in 6th grade.  These grand prizewinners will be going with me to the movies, lunch, and an ice cream sundae party on Friday, November 15th.  All Stampede-A-Thon t-shirts, water bottles, and bracelets have been ordered and will be distributed to students as soon as we receive them.  Thanks, again, for a wonderful first Stampede-A-Thon!

Special Recognition

 
Ashlyn Nelson, Mabel Lunde and Makenna Wells just completed a wonderful fundraiser for the American Cancer Society here at Reagan.  The girls prepared and presented a speech regarding their hopes to raise cancer awareness here at Reagan and to raise funds through a day of ice cream sales at lunch and the results of their efforts turned in a record amount of $362.00!  These funds will be presented to the American Cancer Society by the three girls.  We here at Reagan appreciate all of their enthusiasm and efforts for such a special cause.
 

 

Reagan Athletics Fall Season Comes to a Close...


 
 
The coaches and student-athletes at Reagan just completed our first season of school sponsored athletics here at Reagan.  With flag football and girls volleyball, there were a total of almost 70 student athletes who competed during the season.  What a great opportunity to learn skills, sportsmanship and teamwork.  Starting in December, Reagan will begin the Selma Winter Athletics League in boys and girls basketball.  Look for more information regarding tryouts soon.
