Charles Ellis Fun Run
This year's main fundraiser is the Charles Ellis Fun Run! It's a 9-day program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on January 9th! Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we'll celebrate at the Fun Run on January 18th. With our big goal of raising $8,000 for field trips, playground equipment, and various school projects, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun.
Students will also experience an amazing character theme CASTLE QUEST! an English castle theme all about being brave and living with character. On their quest to regain Bravemore Castle, students will learn the "SIX VIRTUES of a TRUE HERO" from a cast of colorful characters.
Donations will go toward field trips, playground equipment, and various school projects and to the entire 9-day experience.So please help our school by reaching out to sponsors. Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer and your student at the Fun Run!
Benchmark Assessments
Students will take benchmark assessments the week of January 8th. It is important that they continue to practice the skills that they are working on in the classroom at home. Please continue to have your children read nightly and use the the following web programs when possible. If you did not receive your child's login information for any of the websites, please email Ms. Jazmin and she will get them to you immediately. jazmin.corbell@sccpss.com
MobyMax and TenMarks Websites
Students should use the Moby Max website for reading comprehension practice. There is a test prep section as well, that we recommend for all students.
Ten Marks should be used for math practice at home. It is directly aligned to Eureka! Math, which is the newly implemented district math curriculum.
