Students in Ms. Pridgen’s 1st grade class made a Candy Corn craftivity. The students were given an equation problem with 3 addends. The students used each part of the candy corn when solving the problem.
7th graders worked hard on reading technical text this quarter. They dressed like pirates and learned a new reading strategy, THIEVES.
We were thrilled to recognize these character trait winners this morning on the K-4 announcements! These students were nominated by their homeroom teacher for always showing respect toward others.
Unity Day is Wednesday, October 18 as part of National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. This day is designed to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Students will be allowed to wear an orange shirt with uniform bottoms that day to send a visible message that no one should have to experience bullying.
Any students getting their yearbook picture made for retakes will need to bring a polo-style uniform shirt to change into for their picture.
Mrs. Williams' Digital Communications class is studying photo composition and went outside to take pictures using the different elements we learned.
Message from PTA:
Today K-4 students welcomed NED’s Mindset Mission. Students enjoyed the yo-yo and magic tricks and were encouraged through the mission of NED presented in the assembly to never give up, encourage others, and do your best!

Fall Yearbook Pictures will be going home this week. If you ordered a package, you will be receiving that. If you did not order, you will be receiving a proof sheet with information on how you can still order online.
Next Wednesday 10/18, Strawbridge will be on campus taking Make up/Retake pictures. If your child was absent on the original picture day (8/30) this will be their last chance to be photographed for the yearbook! If you are unhappy with your child's picture this is also the only opportunity to have it retaken.
If you child needs their picture taken on 10/18, please make sure to let their teacher know, as not everyone will be photographed this time.
Thank you for supporting this school fundraiser!
Teachers and staff worked hard today and are excited for students to return tomorrow!
