Fourth graders spent a couple of mornings meeting local candidates. Today Mrs.Hendry’s fourth grade dove into our NewsProgress to read about all the candidates before they participate in a mock election. The actual election is tomorrow, Tues. April 2.
Our students remind you to exercise your right to vote. We also wish all the candidates Good Luck!

Each month, Sullivan Elementary School recognizes students who go above and beyond expectations by awarding them "Gold Slips." Here are the Gold Slip winners from the month of March:
Jozelyn Meador noticed that some of her classmates left equipment on the blacktop after recess. Instead of just leaving it there, she quietly picked it all up to bring inside. How thoughtful, responsible, and respectful!
Infinti Phillips saw another student spill a water bottle on the floor and volunteered to clean it up without being asked.
Addalyn Hendry is always helping others! When another student needed something, Addy selflessly gave that student hers. She is helpful not just in the classroom, but everywhere.
Emmersyn Jiannoni's determination and hard work is very impressive. She has been a great role model!
Connor Ruge opens the door for Mrs. Crowe nearly everyday when she has a big load of trash to take out of the cafeteria. He has done this the entire school year!

Mrs. Leach and Coach Typer took kindergarten students on a "bear hunt" on Friday!

Every Friday, Mrs. Hussong’s second graders and Mrs. Watkins’ kindergarteners come together for reading buddies. Today they enjoyed a new twist to reading: Flashlight Friday. The gloomy weather made it a perfect day for turning off the lights and reading around the room with flashlights!

Mrs. Leach's 1st Grade music class turned their chairs into percussion instruments to play "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" today.

Just a reminder to students that their entries for the "On The Same Page" Candy Bar Wrapper Contest are due on Monday, April 1st!

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.

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!
