๐พ๐ Auggie's Classroom Chronicles Continue! ๐พ๐
Auggie, our beloved service dog, is back in action this year, spreading joy and love in the classrooms! ๐๐ With a heart full of tricks and a nose for compassion, he's always ready to lend an ear and a paw to his kids. ๐โ๐ฆบโจ
His specialty? Sensing when a student needs that extra sprinkle of attention and care. During passing time, Auggie is the hallway's favorite furball, eagerly awaiting extra pets and ear rubs.
When the going gets tough, Auggie is there, finding solace at the feet of a student in need. He's a quick learner, soaking in knowledge about new classes and subjects with unmatched enthusiasm. ๐ง ๐
We count our lucky stars to have Auggie as a cherished member of our school family. Here's to another year of tail-wagging support and four-legged friendship! ๐๐พ #AuggieDoggy#OneElevaStrum

Your support is helping nurture a love for reading in these young hearts. We're excited for more reading adventures ahead! ๐๐ #OneElevaStrum

After day one of rules and expectations in Physical Education the class started with an elementary favorite, Monarch Tag! ๐
Two taggers start with the ball and have to try and tag by throwing it and hitting someone. They canโt move when they have the ball so they need to work together to strategize! Once someone is hit, they become a tagger and we go until everyone is caught.
๐Lots of teamwork and communication in this one - and sweaty kids!

The musical cast for SpongeBob the Musical has been working hard at their summer intensive this week! They began work on Sunday and finished up on Tuesday. They worked on songs, and the script, and also learned some of the dances.
Looking forward to getting back on stage even more when school starts! Thank you to Miss Behrens, Jeannette, and Zoe Gullicksrud for helping to get the ball rolling.

๐โ๏ธOur summer reading program began last week. The theme this year is kindness!
Our tweens and teens are already hooked on the novel Wishtreeโจ๐ณ, exploring the power of empathy and compassion. They've been busy creating tie blankets for the Ronald McDonald House, tie-dying shirts, and crafting a beautiful Kindness Quilt!

Cardinal Families, we are getting closer to the beginning of our fall sports seasons, and that means it's time for the Activities Code Meeting. If you are the parent of a student in 6th-12th grade who will be participating in a sport or performance activity (musical, etc.), please join us Monday, July 31st, at 6:00 pm in the High School Auditorium.
We will go through the Code, collect the paperwork, and answer any questions you may have. Please remember your child has to have their paperwork turned in, including their physical or alternate year form (a link has been provided below), before they can practice.
If you are unable to attend on Monday, please reach out to Mikayla Everson at eversonk@esschools.k12.wi.us to get the necessary information. We plan to hold another meeting later in the school year for winter or spring sports athletes who cannot attend on the 31st. Have a great day, and we will see you next Monday!
