Lucky Primary Family

I am one of the "Lucky Ones" who truly enjoys going to work every day... I am surrounded by amazing adults and little people that help make me a better person and the world a better place.  Not every day is full of unicorns and rainbows and during the holiday rush it is often easy to get caught up in the business of life; however, walking into the Primary Building today, I was reminded of how blessed we are.  Every adult and child was greeted by randomly placed sticky notes left as positive affirmations.  You would not BELIEVE the amazing feedback heard throughout our bustling school today!!!  Children read and reread messages that brought smiles to their faces and staff members continued to comment on both the notes and students.  Everything from thanking them for being helpful to a note on the mirror that read, "You are LOVED!"  I want to personally thank our "spreader of good cheer" and remind everyone how one small act of kindness can remind us all we are lucky to be loved and a part of the Chadron Primary Family!!

Newest Member of the Primary Family

I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member to the Chadron Primary Family....  Seymour Goodthings.  He is very excited to catch our smallest of Cardinals doing great things here in the "nest" and following our Cardinal Rules.  Keep your eyes out for Seymour and continue making good choices.

Seymour had to check out Mrs. Uhing's office before making his way to another spot in the Primary Building

Kids Caring at Christmas Project

                                                                                                                              

Dear Parents/Guardians,

    The staff at Chadron Primary Building have decided  that instead of having students purchase a gift for a gift exchange with their classmates at their class Christmas parties December 21st, students are encouraged to bring non-perishable foods to put under our Christmas tree.  The food items that are received will be donated to a local food pantry and will be distributed to families in our community who are in need.  

    If your child wants to bring a food item to school, we will be collecting these food items from Thursday, December 1st thru Friday, December 16th. Thank you for your help in making our “Kids Caring at Christmas” Project a success.

Sincerely,

Chadron Primary Staff and Students                                                          

                                                   

Dawes County Courthouse Tree Decorating

Chadron Primary School students were invited to the Dawes County Courthouse to decorate the tree in the main entry way for the annual Parade of Lights.  Students enjoyed the beautiful November weather as we walked to the courthouse and the children put their hand made ornaments on the tree.  Students were also treated to a candy cane for the return trip to school.  Thank you to the staff at the courthouse; if you are out and about here in town, please stop by the courthouse and take a look at the work of our talented students.  Happy Holidays!
