On Friday, October 12, 2018, our Kindergartners explored Tim's Pumpkin Patch in Marietta. #SASAtoms toured the farm to learn about the fine operations of a Pumpkin Patch. They also visited the barn to see what types of animals live on a farm. All the kids had a great time picking out their own pumpkin to take home.
On Thursday, October 4, 2018, inspirational speaker Marc Mero shared his message with the #SASCS community. Mero travels to schools across the nation sharing his message of anti-bullying, kindness, and the power of choosing your destiny.
On Thursday, October 11, 2018, our #SASAtoms enjoyed a fun-filled Literacy Night. Families were invited to explore popularly themed classrooms like Pete the Cat, Wonder, and Dr. Seuss. #SASAtoms and their families competed in a scavenger hunt for prizes while they participated in reader's theater, games, a photo booth, and arts & crafts. A few #SASAtoms dressed as their favorite book character for the night. Our literacy nights encourage reading as a family, and are one of the many ways we are building success one ATOM at a time.
On Wednesday, October 10, 2018, first-grade #SASAtoms hopped on over to Tim's Pumpkin Patch in Marietta. The students enjoyed a tractor ride around the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, interacting with farm animals, and enjoyed some fresh apple cider and donuts. Before leaving, the #SASCS Scholars were given a compliment on how nice their manners were and how polite and respectful they were for the duration of the visit. We are so proud of our #SASAtoms, and can't wait to see where they are off to next.
On Monday, October 1, 2018, our third-grade #SASAtoms were visited by Margaret Lane, Executive Education Programs Director at the Maxwell School, and her associate, Magda. Margaret is part of the Maxwell School at Syracuse University and travels the world learning, promoting, and gathering knowledge to help support education. She spoke with #SASAtoms about personal and career goals, as well as about some of the work that she does for the education programs at Maxwell. These opportunities teach our #SASCS community about leadership and encourage our #SASAtoms to visualize their futures. We are building success one ATOM at a time.
On Monday, September 24 and Tuesday, September 25, 2018, #SASCS Elementary held our Student of the Month Ceremonies for the month of September. We started off the year by awarding students for the character trait of respect. All students who were given this award showed high levels of what it means to show respect both to the adults in the building, and also their peers. We are building success one ATOM at a time.
On Monday, September 24, 2018, guest speaker, Azra Gradincic, spoke to the fifth-grade #SASAtoms about growing up during the Bosnian war. Gradincic helped the students make connections with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the articles that the students had been working on. #SASAtoms listened attentively to the stories from her youth. Gradincic had to hide in her home to be safe, ran out of certain foods because the shops weren't open, and had to leave her possessions behind to find a safer place to live. The students connected these stories to the human rights they are studying. Guest speakers are just one of the ways we are building success one ATOM at a time.
On Thursday, September 27, 2018, the #SASCS Elementary school held its Olweus kick-off. Students have been learning about our Olweus program which is a school-wide anti-bullying initiative. Students participated in grade-level team building activities, had their faces painted, and even shared their silly side with the props at the photo booth. #SASAtoms signed the Olweus Pledge which will be hanging in our hallway for students to have a daily reminder to be respectful, prepared, safe, ready and responsible.
