Smorstad's Scoop

**WEEKLY SCOOP!**

I hope that you all had a relaxing fall break. Our school is doing a service project… can you help? Please see below:

Our 4th and 5th grade Leadership groups are collecting store-bought, individually packaged treats for “Gavin’s Goodies.” Gavin Carr is a 6-year-old boy who has leukemia. He takes treats with him each week to the other children at UK Children’s Hospital. Our students at WES are collecting items to send with him for the children undergoing treatments. The items cannot be home-made; they have to be in individual packages. The items can be put in the boxes outside Mrs. Shouse’s room or outside the cafeteria doors. Thank you for your help!

Classroom Facts:

· We completed our 9th SMART chart and celebrated with having a shoes off day on Friday. I was so proud at the way our class returned from fall break ready to show SMART behavior.

· Our class enjoyed learning all about Elijah this week! He was our star student and did an excellent job.
