P a g e 2 T h e PTO K n i g h t l y N e w s CORNER NEXT PTO MEETING PTO MEETING Tuesday, January 20th at 6:007:00 PM in Neihardt’s School Library! ...Did you know that... NEIHARDT & PTO is on FACEBOOK (Neihardt Elementary & Neihardt PTO) & TWITTER (@goknights77) JOIN US! Counselor’s Corner We are the Knights...The Mighty Mighty Knights! We always try to do what’s right! The Season of Giving is upon us. Whatever faith you observe or culture you practice, it is almost impossible not to be touched by the atmosphere that exists in December if you live in the United States. Yes., it is a mixed bag! Retailers are scrambling to permeate our senses with the message Buy, Buy Buy! If we stop and reflect however, we may see past all of the gifting and tune into the sense of love and fellowship that is behind it. I read something recently that described the season a “abiding sense if return. Seems to stand outside of time. We are home again…” Whether home is a source of comfort or stress to us; we have the ability to give and receive love from those close to us. Focus on who is truly important in our lives and turn our attention to cultivating those relationships like giving water and fertilizer to a garden. December lessons focused on friendship and giving. Ask a 1st grader about not judging a present, or a person, by its outside appearance. 4th graders practiced gratitude by writing thank you notes. All grades were challenged to think of something (preferably not a Thing) that they would like to give to someone else. May the spirit of the giving season bring joy to each of you. Glad tidings for time spent with those whom you love! “ K n i g h t ” C e l e b r a t i o n s ” Our December Knightly ticket winners are in the attachments for all Grades! Congratulations to all our winners!!!

AND No School Monday, Jan. 19th Martin Luther King Day Health Room Notes FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE With flu season upon us there are some things that can be done to help reduce the chance of getting/spreading this disease. Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away after use and wash your hands. If a tissue is not available, cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve, not your hand. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. *Information from CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) Health Room is in need of long pants in sizes 6-8 Read-A-Thon We are sponsoring a read-a-thon to encourage kids to read from now until we come back in January. When they need more entry slips, they can get them in the library OR I will have a place where they can print them from our Library webpage. Linda Ward, Teacher-Librarian 4th Grade Writing Test and 5th Grade Math Testing On January 14th and 21st, 5th graders will complete middle school math testing and on January 28th, 4th graders will take the state writing test. They have been working hard to prepare for these assessments. It is important that all students are present for these testing dates. Please avoid making appointments or scheduling vacations during this time. In order for your child to be as successful as possible on this assessment, please make sure that they get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school with a positive attitude.
