Reagan Elementary School - October 2014

On Tuesday, September 30, Big James Henderson, Guinness Book World Record Holder, 5 Time World Champion, and 5 Time National Champion, visited Reagan in order to share with our students the powerful message of making smart, positive choices. 

Students were entertained with Big James’ powerful message and his feats of strength as he rolled up a frying pan into a burrito with his hands.  The Power of Choice  allowed Big James to avoid negative peer influences in his life to become a real life champion as he holds the record for the heaviest bench press at 711 pounds.  We would like to thank the Champions For Today organization for providing such a great speaker for our students.

Magazine Sales

We would like to thank all of our parents/guardians and friends of our Reagan students for participating in our Magazine Fundraiser.  Students brought in over $49,000 in sales.  Once Great American Publishing processes all of our orders they will take their percentage of the sales (60%), and then we will be able to announce the total amount of money that we will receive.  A big thank you goes out to all of our parent volunteers who helped count money for our turn-in days.  For students who qualified, the VIP Recess will be held on October 8, the money machine will also be on October 8, and the Limo Lunch will take place on Monday, October 6.  Thank you for your continued support of our students.

Thank you for helping with the Cookie Dough Fundraiser. It was a great success! This helps pay for field trips and assemblies. Cookie dough will be in by the third week of October.

Lincoln Elementary School - October 2014

What is NED?

Lincoln kicked off the year with a great assembly featuring Nate and his yo-yo playing Friend, NED, which stands for:

Never Give Up
Encourage Others
Do Your Best

It was a very entertaining assembly, but the best part was how many students remembered the message of the assembly, and how many students could tell weeks later what NED stood for.  The assembly came with supporting lessons and ideas for classroom use.

Red Ribbon Week - October 27-13, 2014
