The students in Mr. Campbell’s 4th grade class, were given the option to have a class gift exchange or use the money usually spent on gifts to make a donation to a local outreach. The students, unanimously, chose to raise the money and make a donation. This year, the students and their families, raised $154 that has been donated to support the CEFS of Moultrie County!

At Sullivan Elementary School, students who go above and beyond expectations are awarded a "Gold Slip." The following students were Gold Slip winners for the month of December:
Ivan Moxley expertly shared his knowledge with another student who was needing help with a project direction. He was a wonderful student teacher on this day when a substitute teacher was in charge.
Gavin Helmuth, Nixon Dundee, and Tessla Ashbrook noticed a trash can after school that had blown over in the parking lot. Without being asked, they put the trash can back in place and picked up all the trash that had spilled out of it. What a responsible and conscientious group of students!
Caidon Hill knew that there was someone who was going through a difficult time. He gave up something that was given to him because he knew the other student needed it more. Caidon is a good friend!
As a way to spread Christmas cheer, Kendall Penberthy and her family paid for another student's lost library book. Thank you, Kendall, for you generous gift!
Nevaeh Marlow voluntarily spent her free time cleaning up her classroom during the class movie. She even cleaned everyone's desk!
Avram Bates was listening to and discussing a book by Patricia Palacco. Avram connected with the book and shared his feelings about a student he thought had been treated poorly by others, leading to a wonderful class discussion and ways to help that student feel loved. Avram is so caring and has a big heart.
When a student was making fun of a student with special needs, Aiden Dinger stuck up for the student being made fun of! We are very proud of how Aiden put a stop to bullying!
Elementary School report cards will be coming home today! Also, notes will be coming home for Parent/Teacher Conference sign ups. Some teachers are sending them with the report cards and others will be sending them separately within the next couple of weeks, so please be on the lookout!
The votes are in! Congratulations to Mrs. Becker who received 80 of the 460 votes to win the SES People's Choice Door Decorating Contest! Mrs. McCain was a close 2nd with 78 votes.
The Elementary School teachers are in a hotly contested door decorating competition and we need your input! Please click on the link below and choose ONE door as your favorite. The theme was "Christmas Movies" and doors were required to incorporate student work!

Last week in library class Mrs. Fleming shared the story, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" After, students enjoyed a fun science experiment. Using a bottle with some vinegar and a green balloon with a heart drawn on it, and some baking soda (inside the balloon), we grew the Grinch's heart three sizes. When the baking soda came in contact with the vinegar two things happened. The Grinch's heart grew because the chemical reaction created carbon dioxide which inflated the balloon. Also the "coldness" came out of his heart because the chemical reaction created a temperature change. This made our liquid much colder.
1st and 2nd grade students are learning about mallet instruments and musical improvisation with Mr. Schaefers.
