Sullivan Elementary School

Congratulations to the newest 1st Grade members of the MIND (Math Is Not Difficult) Club!

We “donut” want the month of March to pass by without wishing a Happy Birthday to Coach Typer, Mrs. Bragg, and Mrs. Fleming !

Just like in Chapter 2 of "The Chocolate Touch," a candy shop appeared out of nowhere in the lobby of SES while students were at lunch! The shopkeeper, with the help of Mrs. Graham, handed out chocolate coins or Smarties to all the students.

Please check out our Facebook page or YouTube channel tonight anytime after 6 as our first guest reader will read Chapter 1! Below is the schedule for when each chapter will be aired (each will be posted at 6 p.m.): Chapter 1: 3/25 Chapter 2: 3/26 Chapter 3: 3/27 Chapter 4: 3/28 Chapter 5: 3/29 Chapter 6: 4/1 Chapter 7: 4/2 Chapter 8: 4/3 Chapter 9: 4/4 Chapter 10: 4/8 Chapter 11: 4/9 Chapter 12: 4/10 Please join us as we read this delicious book!

Our “On the Same Page” assembly was gobbled up by K-4th graders eager to read “The Chocolate Touch.”

Mrs. Becker’s class loves when Miss Britney comes to teach us about healthy kids from Sarah Bush Lincoln !

Zak Standerfer and Dave VanDeursen recently conducted a "controlled burn" at the prairie plot next to Sullivan Elementary while students were on Spring Break. The controlled burn helps maintain the health of the habitat by managing weeds and restoring nutrients for desired plant growth.

As sad as we are that our hallways will be silent this coming week, we hope you all have a wonderful spring break! When we return we will be announcing our exciting initiative, On The Same Page, community/school book reading. We will be announcing the book on March 25th and reading will begin that day (one chapter will be read every school day evening). During the initiative, check our Facebook page for video of different guest readers each evening at 6. We will keep you posted on more information!

Mrs. Guyot, Florey, and Grohler’s students enjoyed thematic St. Patrick’s Day Activities. They ended their celebration with eating green ice cream.

Mr. Campbell’s class made leprechaun traps using at least one simple machine in their design.

Mrs.Hendry’s 4th grade was excited to share their leprechaun traps. Some worked independently and some worked with their families to use Simple Machines in their construction of a Leprechaun Trap. One student was concerned and asked, “How will the Leprechaun eat if he gets stuck in one during Spring Break?” Mrs.Hendry assured them she’ll check on Monday and release any that get caught.

It’s time to harvest our Vermicompost castings to add to our Sullivan Elementary School Community Garden.

Mrs. Dickens and Mrs. Watkins’ classes enjoyed some sunshine and exercise for their last Heathy Kids lesson with Miss Brittany from Sarah Bush

Mrs. Hendry challenged her Social Studies classes to notice the signs around town. Here are a few that’ve come in so far. A candidate forum is Thurs. at the Little Theater. We even have a few candidates coming to speak with our classes after Spring Break. #localgovernment #ourtown #townpride

Mr. Allen challenges staff at the SIP after lunch.

In celebration of School Social Worker Week, SES students and faculty signed a poster sized card showing Mrs. Graham our appreciation for her.

Each month, students at Sullivan Elementary who go above and beyond expectations are awarded a "Gold Slip." Here are the Gold Slip winners for the month of February (pictured from left to right): The kindergarten class was making a mess with the trays after lunch and Callum Welty stopped and straightened up the trays and told the others to stop and look at the trays. How responsible of him! Scarlett Griffin is a good friend and great helper! She used her play time to help her friends write to 100! After every indoor recess, Savanna Dendy always takes extra time to make sure all of the games are organized and put away neatly without being told. Maddison Walters is always pushing herself to do better and seeks a challenge. She always gives 100%!

Come and cheer for your favorite team during the Battle of the Badges. They are all heroes, but only one will win the game. Will it be the Sullivan Police Department or the Sullivan Fire Department that claim the title? Join us for a fun evening, beginning at 6 p.m. on March 14th in the high school gym. A hot dog supper will precede the game at 5 p.m. with proceeds going to post prom in the High School Commons. This event is free for all to enjoy! Lots of fun things happening including a 50/50 drawing, SES staff cheerleaders and more! All proceeds from the game will go to the Sullivan PTO and their efforts to support SES students and staff. Donations are appreciated and accepted at the door.

A very fun night out for members and adult volunteers of Helping Hands in Sullivan.
