Our school is participating in a very special community service program to raise funds for the American Heart Association. We’re joining in the fight against cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
We will hold our “Hoops for Heart Event” the week of November 11-15, 2013. During this week, all students in grades 1-5 participate in spe-cial “hoop” activities and learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and good nutrition dur-ing her/his physical education class.
All students in grades 1-5 brought home information recently about our “Hoops for Heart Event”. The money we raise will help people in our community learn how to avoid heart disease and stroke. Cheyenne will qualify for gift certificates for physical education equipment based on the amount of money we raise. Students will also re-ceive thank-you gifts based on the amount of money they collect for this event. The thank-you gifts will be delivered to Cheyenne in December.
All checks should be made payable to the American Heart Association. Cash will not be ac-cepted. The money is due by November 1, 2013.
“Hoops for Heart” is a fun event that helps our children understand the importance of com-munity service and physical activity. Our efforts truly make a difference! Thank you for your sup-port!
Mrs. Guitar and Mr. McClorey
It is not too early to begin thinking about Challenge Day, which is scheduled for Friday, June 6 (rain date is June 9). The sign-up sheets are posted outside the North gym doors on the wall. Parents of children in grades 1-5 can sign up now to run one of the 29 events. 3-5 grade activities will run from 9:45 am—Noon. K-2 grade activities will run from 12:45-3:00 pm. Kinder-garten parents should not sign up to run an event as they are able to accompany their own child to the dif-ferent events.
If you are planning ahead for Thanksgiving Break, please note that there is NO SCHOOL on
Wednesday, November 27 through Friday, November 29. Classes resume on
Monday, December 2..
For all their hard work on the MEAP Tests last month, Cheyenne’s 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be attend-ing the Stand Strength Team’s Anti-Bullying Assembly in the MPR on Friday, November 8! The children will learn the importance of making the right choices, respecting others, achieving academic excellence, as well as anti-peer pres-sure and anti-bullying.
It’s great to be a Cheyenne Sun again! Thank you to all the students and their families for making me feel so welcome. Cheyenne is truly a wonderful place to be. I look forward to a wonderful school year devoted to maintaining a focused and safe learning environment for your children. I am very excited to be here and am looking forward to continuing to work with the students and families of Cheyenne. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
