Start saving those Pop Tabs!

Pop Tab Drive February 3-7th

The Student Council is going to continue to do a Pop Tab Drive for the Ronald McDonald House this year! Last year, we collected 127,500, WOW!!! Let’s see if we can beat that total! I have already seen some of the students bringing some tabs in, awesome! 

We are asking everyone to save their tabs starting today! The pop tabs will be collected by the classroom teachers the week of February 3^rd. There will be a contest and a prize for the class who can collect the most tabs. We will choose a winner (1^st and 2^nd place) from K-2 and the winners from grades 3-6.

After one million tabs have been collected, the Ronald McDonald House will put our name on a plaque, to say “thanks a million!” Then, it is hung up in the house for all the visitors to see. 

Thank you so much for your support and kindness towards a great cause!

Mrs. Omer & the Student Council

Abigail Russell and Gina Namuth had a fun opportunity to participate in “Girls in Engineering Day” at UNL last weekend with Mrs. Shields. It was sponsored by UNL and the Lincoln Children’s Museum. It was a day for girls ages 7 to 18 to discover what engineers do. They explored hands-on activities and then had breakout sessions where more in-depth topics were discussed. They also were able to tour the UNL lab that is creating a surgical robot. Abigail Russell said she enjoyed learning about the different kinds of engineers and getting connected with professionals in the field.

These shoes are made for moving and that’s just what they’ll do…

Did you know about this fun activity for Elementary students?

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 7:45 AM, students can come to the gym and enjoy walking, dancing or just moving and having a ton of fun before school starts. So, wear comfy shoes, find a friend and join us for some fun.

Download this permission form and send it with your child the first time they attend.

As we have the past several years we will be doing a Coaches vs Cancer game when we play at Arlington this year. If you would like to order a T-shirt to support the cause here is a picture of the order form. Your child can pick one of these forms up in the office. Forms are due back to the office by January 9th.
