The Great Inflatable Race

 

To finish the school year, Chadron Primary School had the Great Inflatable Race which was so much fun!  Students were able to bring in change or donations and choose which of our selected staff members got to wear which inflatable.  Students raised close to $300 all of which goes to our PBIS program and rewards for student success.  This year we had Ms. Kasey, Mrs. Hageman, Mrs. Vander May, and Mr. Fred who were great sports to join in the racing fun!!  Thank you to all of the families and staff members who contributed to this worthwhile cause and have some fun to kick off summer!

On Wednesday May 7th the theme was Thanks for making our students “Smart Cookies.” Teachers and staff enjoyed cookies and sweet treats brought in again from families. On Thursday May 8th students brought cards or drew pictures for their teachers or staff members expressing their appreciation. Then to end the week on Friday May 9th students gave verbal compliments to their teachers and staff members so they were able to feel the LOVE!!
