Mr. Campbell has an influence on everyone, including our student teachers!
Sullivan Elementary School awards "Gold Slips" to students who go above and beyond expectations. Here are the Gold Slip winners for the month of January (from left to right):
Dylan Ray took the time to pick up hoola hoops that had fallen off the wall during recess while other students walked past them!
Gavin Helmuth was the only 5th grader to stop and pick up a pair of gloves that someone dropped. He stopped, picked them up, and attempted to find the owner. Bravo!
Kya Allen finished her math assignment early and instead of having free time on her iPad, she asked if she could help a couple of her classmates who were struggling! Way to go!
Aubrey Martin noticed the incentives for the RESPECT board drawing were getting very low. She went and bought suckers with her own money so other kids would have a treat for being respectful!
Christopher Henry is always helping and looking after another student during P.E.!

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.
