Cincinnati Hometown Sports Team Spirit Day
On Tuesday, let’s show our Summerside Spirit and cheer on our very own Cincinnati Reds baseball team as they secure the National League and hope for a playoff spot in the pennant races. Let’s have some fun and dress in red on Tuesday, September, 28th all day at school. You can even pay $1.00 and wear a hat or head covering (scarf, bandanna) all day in school. The Reds are back in Cincy to begin a 3 game series against Houston at Great American Ballpark. The magic number is now 1! Go Reds! Not a Reds fan? How about being a Red’s fan for just the day? No worries, it’s ok, just dress in the color red or your favorite Cincinnati sport’s team spirit wear. You can wear Ohio State spirit wear, UC, Bengals, or good old yellow and black to represent Summerside. Spirit Sam will be taking pictures to send to the WCS Connection next week at school on Tuesday, so join in the playoff hunt fever at school!

Breakfast is served from 8:50-9:10 am in the cafe. Mr. Furlong, Mrs. Adam’s and Mrs. Rowland supervise the gym for all students from 8:50-9:10 am daily. Students who don’t need breakfast can drop off as early as 9:00 a.m. when teachers begin their duty for the day across our campus. The tardy bell now rings at 9:10. Help avoid attendance issues and start your son or daughter day out in a positive manner. Have children to school on time consistently. Thank you for your advanced cooperation.

Parents of our youngest eagles and their pre-school siblings- the PNC One Big World Mobile Planetarium is coming to our gym on October 2, 2010. This fun and educational program features the characters from Sesame Street to introduce young children to science through their world around them. All SE kindergarten and first grade students will attend the presentation with their homeroom class. Parents are invited to bring their 4 year old children and their friends to participate in the planetarium program. Parents will need to call Gretchen at 947-7900 to make a reservation. There is no cost to this creative on-site field trip. Parents will need to attend the event with their preschoolers. Give us a call!

Fabulous First Day

Thank you to everyone who made today, our first day of the brand new school year a huge success. It was terrific to see all of the boys and girls back to school well rested and eager to meet their new teachers. Behavior was excellent across school settings. I was so impressed. I hope this year will continue on this positve note. Be sure to check your daughter or son's first day packet and fill out the required paperwork for your student. Please return these to school ASAP. Thank you PTO for filling the first day packets before school began.

Second grade teachers, Miss Hyde, Mrs. Cann, Mrs. Gebauer, and Miss Hayden ( reading) learned together today at the new Amelia Elementary school about our fantastic Reading Street reading series. Our morning was filled with information, technology, and other teachers from our district. The teachers and I are so excited to show you the materials and begin reading together.
