Good evening,
As we enter our second week of school after fair break, we would like to remind you that students are to begin practicing their independence walking into the building each morning. The front steps and entryway of our school has 10 staff members ready to assist students to the breakfast room, and their designated grade-level spots. Please allow your children the opportunity to enter the building on their own beginning tomorrow morning.
Thank you!
Mrs. McNeal and Mr. Schumm
Mrs Ary’s kindergarten class earned an ice cream party for completing their leadership board for positive behavior in the hallway. Way to go kiddos!!
Look at these smiling faces! These are today’s golden coop winners and another student who sold 12 items or more through our fundraiser online who received every coop imaginable!
Monday will be our last day to draw for golden coop winners, but there’s still time to either register your student online or share our fundraiser to be entered into the drawing. Thank you for your support!
Ms. Milner's first grade students participated in collaborative conversations yesterday during reading class.
Check out these cool magnets that our McClain Band Boosters are selling! These six-inch heavy duty magnets are made for vehicles, but can be placed anywhere. At $5.00 each, they can be purchased directly from Band Booster members or from their concession stand. 😊
Our cookie dough fundraiser is in full swing and we are on our way to our $15,000 goal!
Today we met our first goal marker by selling $3000 worth of items! This marker has Miss Donna receiving a pie in the face at our end of fundraiser assembly.
Here are the other goal markers and the pie in the face recipients:
Miss Kris at $6000
Miss Vette at $9000
Mrs. McNeal at $12,000
Mr. Schumm at $15,000
Please help us reach our main goal of placing a pie in Mr. Schumm’s face!!
More daily golden coops winners and also a student who received all 12 coops for selling 12 items for our fundraiser! Great job!!
Time for our daily Fall Fundraiser update! Pictured below are our golden coop winners for today! We will draw five more winners again tomorrow. Remember to be entered into the golden coop drawing you just need to register your child online and/or share our fundraiser on social media. Your student will automatically earn a regular coop upon completing online registration and another for sharing it on social media for a total of two coops earned. Thank you for helping make our fall fundraiser a success!
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Good attendance has an impact on the success of students.
Some people think about 75% as average success, but check out the impact on students who have only a 75% attendance rate! Even the difference between 90% and 95% is staggering. If you have attendance concerns or questions, please contact us. We are happy to help!
Our Fall Fundraiser is in full swing and will continue until September 26! Today students who registered online for the fundraiser and students who shared our fundraiser online were rewarded with their coops. Out of those students, five were chosen to win the daily golden coops! We also had one student awarded all 12 coops for selling 12 items through our fundraiser online!! The fun and coops will continue this week!
Mrs. Vesey’s first grade class was blessed to have a mini lesson with our guidance counselor, Maggie Dobson, today to learn about her job at our school and about the different emotions we might be feeling about the beginning of the school year! 💜💛🐯
Reminder: School will not be in session September 5-9 due to Labor Day and fair break. School will resume for students on Monday, September 12, 2022.

Mrs. Vesey’s first grade students worked in partners today to practice addition using part-part-whole terminology.
Partner1 holds up a stick of cubes, they used five for today.
Partner 2 counts the stick and says the number (5) and closes eyes
Partner one breaks the cube stick into two parts (example 2&3) and holds one part behind back (3).
Partner 2 opens eyes and partner 1 shows what’s left in their hand (2)
Partner 2 has to guess what’s behind the other partners back (3).
Easy to play with anything at your household to practice addition and subtraction concepts!

New Greenfield Elementary School Series-
The things we find in book bags!
The kindergarten students at Greenfield Elementary rang the victory bell yesterday to mark the beginning of their first school year.
Kindergartners were assembled Thursday morning, Aug. 25 for this occasion.
All four kindergarten classes had a chance to pull the rope and watch the bell swing back and forth in the tower. It was a great way to celebrate the first week of their formal education.
For many years, the victory bell rang once every morning, calling children from all over the city to come to school. It has been used to celebrate athletic victories, and it rings out at graduation time as well.
At the end of the 2022-2023 school year, the fifth-grade students will continue this tradition by ringing the victory bell, signifying their last day in school as elementary students and the 2023 seniors will ring the bell to signify their last day as a Tiger!
