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!

No Early Release Today!

PGE Parents/Guardians,

THERE IS NO EARLY RELEASE TODAY, SEPTEMBER 24th!  We apologize for any inconvenience that the school menu caused.

Thanks!

Progress Reports are Coming Home!

Today, September 19th, progress reports will be coming home to all parents and guardians. Please take a moment to look these over. Focus on the strengths your child is showing and also look at areas where your child could be working a little bit harder.  Take some time to talk with your child about the progress report and set a goal to work on between now and the end of the 1st quarter (October 10th).  If you have any questions about the progress report, please contact your child's teacher.
