Wednesday, February 25th from 4-7PM is McTeacher Night at the Irwin McDonalds.  Come out and see the teachers cooking burgers, fries, and making milkshakes.  20% of all proceeds benefit the PTO. 

Congratulations to Ms. Pasquale and her Kindergarten class at H.W Good Elementary.   Chevron agreed to
fund her STEM initiative allowing her to purchase science kits, math kits, file folder games, a U-shaped table, kinesthetic learning materials, and tons of math and science manipulatives. 

I am extremely excited to announce that we have received a $ 20,000 STEM grant from Chevon through Project Lead the Way.  The grant was written to enhance our Science curriculum, especially in 3rd and 4th grade.  The building will receive the following as part of the grant:

Training for our building STEM coordinator:  LeAnn Steban
20 IPAD Mini/Cases
IPAD APPS
Digital Printer (possibly 3D)
Reflector Software
Ebooks

Science Kits:  3rd grade Stability and Motion (Forces and Interactions)
4th grade Energy (Collisions)
The kits include: Launch logs, construction kits, and all additional experimental material

We will receive $ 15,000 for year 1 implementation and $ 5,000 for year 2 implementation

This is a wonderful partnership and opportunity to expose our students and staff to 21st century learning.

Information about the district after school dinner program is attached.

74 students in grades 3 and 4 had the opportunity to attend The Career Cafe during lunch. Our speaker, Mr. Mike Gerdich is The Director of Alumni Relations at St. Vincent College. He spoke to our students about his job, responsibilities and shared fun facts about St.Vincent College.

Our students were very engaged and asked many questions about college admissions, majors of study and collegiate sports available.

This was an informative and very fun Career Cafe for our students.  Thank you, Mr. Gerdich and St. Vincent College for supporting our career awareness efforts and providing our students with fun draw-string book bags and pens.

Our building theme to support our positive behavior plan is be a Super HERO.
H- Have a positive attitude
E- Everyone gives their best effort
R- Respect each other
O- Organization & Optimism are the keys to success
