Stride Practice Starts Monday!!
The Spilman boys spent their OWN money to buy food for the High School FFA food drive. The FFA had the boys over to the high school to give them a tour of their total collections and to say thank you for their special effort.
From March 1st to March 31st, we will be collecting various school supplies for our student teachers working in our building this year. The items are grade-specific, and we kindly ask each grade level to help with the following:
Pre-K & Kindergarten: Pencils and/or pens
1st Grade: Crayons and/or colored pencils
2nd Grade: Notebooks and/or packs of paper
3rd Grade: Sticky notes and/or folders
4th Grade: Expo markers and/or pencil erasers
5th Grade: Scissors and/or glue
In addition to the grade-specific items, we are also encouraging donations of children's books across various reading levels from all grades.
Please send your donated items with your child, or drop them off in the office. The donated items will then be put outside of the classroom in the morning, and the Student Council will come around to collect them.
Thank you for helping our Student Teachers get their careers started!!
Just a reminder to show some love this week ;)

Sorry, I get excited about food. :)
What's not to love about our cafeteria's grub?
They do a great job!

Mrs. Marr arranged to have Pretzel families donate several boxes of fun stuff to be delivered to Mr. Birch (our own Mrs. Birch's husband) who is serving overseas. Thank you all for your generosity and thoughtfulness. And...thank you Mr. Birch for keeping us safe.

Angel Tree Forms are due Friday, November 1st.
Feel free to call up the school and ask for Angie Marr if you have any questions.
The Pretzel Angel Tree serves the Community Unit School District #16 children & families, who are currently active students in the district. Each child remains anonymous and is given a letter & number to be put on the tree, located in the vestibule of the New Berlin Elementary School. Tags are taken, shopped for, wrapped and returned to the Elementary Office by Friday, December 6, 2024. The Angel Tree Committee provides coats, shoes & underwear to each child. Local churches donate personal items and food boxes for each family. We are very grateful and appreciative of all of the support we receive from the community.
