Lots of Halloween Fun at PGE!

The students gathered this Halloween morning for a parade for parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters.  The costumes were wonderful and everyone had the opportunity to see all of their friends dressed up for Halloween.  Following the parade, the students went back to their classrooms for their Halloween Party.  Everyone had a wonderful time and did lots of fun activities with their classmates. Below are some pictures from our Halloween Parties.

 

Thanks for Your Support at Pizza Ranch!

A special thank you to all of the staff, students, and parents who helped with our fundraiser last night at Pizza Ranch.  We had many North Boone Families come out for dinner and were able to raise $576!  That is amazing!  A special thank you goes out to the PTO Board for arranging this event for our school.

Pizza Ranch Fundraiser

Tonight, October 29th, the PTO is hosting a fundraiser at Pizza Ranch.  PGE Staff will be working for tips tonight from 5 - 8 p.m.  We will also receive up to 10% of the sales!  Feel free to stop over for some dinner and help support the fundraiser!  Have a great evening!

Donuts with Dad is a HUGE Success!

We had outstanding attendance at our Donuts with Dad/Special Person event!  Over 300 people came to PGE and had breakfast together.  A special thank you to all of our dads/special people who took time to eat with our students and start their day on a positive note.  A special thank you also goes to the PTO for organizing this fun event.

Donuts with Dad

Just a reminder that tomorrow, October 24th, is our Donuts with Dad breakfast from 7:30 - 7:50 a.m. We have a large number of people coming so feel free to park in the Poplar Grove Methodist Church lot if there is no parking available on school grounds. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

3rd Grade Science Learning

 As part of their Structures of Life unit, the 3rd graders are investigating crayfish. On Friday, they explored the structure of a crayfish's body. The pictures below show the fun they had in learning about crayfish!

Learning with Pumpkins in 1st Grade

Today, Mrs. Winebaugh's class learned using pumpkins.  They learned about all the parts of a pumpkin and then completed a pumpkin investigation where they measured their pumpkins, counted the pumpkin's stripes and seeds and did a writing exercise about the best part of the investigation. You can see from the pictures that the students really enjoyed this activity.  For some of them, it was the first time they had ever the pulp and seeds of a pumpkin!

A Very BIG Thank You to Sam's Club!

This morning was an exciting time for the Poplar Grove Staff and Students!  Mrs. Jamie Wheeler and Mrs. Michelle Staver surprised all teachers with a $50 Walmart/Sam's Club gift card and also delivered balloons and special treats to all students and staff members!  This year, each Sam's Club is awarding $50 gift cards to 20 teachers and Poplar Grove Elementary was chosen to receive this award. This was a very special gift for our staff and we are very appreciative of it.  The gift cards will be spent on supplies for each classroom.  Thanks again to Sam's Club for their generosity and to Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Staver for nominating our                             school and delivering everything to us today!
