Yesterday during Miss Schmitt's ELA Acceleration Class, her students read "Spookly the Square Pumpkin". Following the story, the class discussed and celebrated what it means to be unique as well as created a craft of some very special and beautiful pumpkins!
Last week Mrs. Sluke’s Rock Climbing Class worked on building trust among each other. They successfully completed the spider web activity on our outdoor challenge course. This particular activity requires every member of the class to make it through one of the spider web openings without touching the web. Each opening "closes" after a student makes it through successfully, so all of the openings of the web are utilized. The activity cannot be accomplished without the help, assistance and protection provided by all of the participants.
Two weeks ago, Miss Strobl and some 4th graders delivered donuts, 100 Grand bars, and the cards the students created for our community helpers during their service learning project on Character Day!
We are thankful for each person that helps keep our community safe!
The Wautoma High School Drama Department will present the play "She Kills Monsters" at the McComb/Bruchs PAC this Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM.
"She Kills Monsters" tells the story of high schooler Agnes Evans as she deals with the death of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
* Recommended for ages 12 and Up*

I nominate Carol Medlin for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.
Carol joined our school this year and is a wonderful addition to the class. Carol easily transitioned into the first grade classroom family with her bright personality and her go with the flow attitude. In addition, Carol inhabits many of the character traits essential for life. Carol is responsible. She takes care of her supplies, she is a good listener and a hard worker who follows directions quickly. Carol is respectful. She uses polite words and treats her classmates well. Carol is easy to get along with and has a bright smile for her classmates. Carol shows leadership in the classroom with her positive actions. She sits on the carpet, she stands in line and organizes lines when the students get their book kinds, math supplies or chromebooks. Carol shows determination and always does the best she can on tests and assignments. Carol takes her time and does careful work. She has a growth mindset. Carol knows when something is difficult, it is not time to give up. She knows she might not know something yet, but with hard work she will be able to do anything she puts her mind to.
It is for these reasons that I nominate Carol Medlin for September Student of the Month.
Mrs. Tompkins - 1st Grade
