Four of our fabulous fourth graders recently received a “Knowledge is Dynamite” award from the Kiwanis Club of Elkhart!
From left, Kayiona Talley (South Side), Sajia Henagan (East Side), Cynthia Guzman (Ox Bow), and Perla Navarro (West Side). Each school nominated a student to receive the award.
ABOUT THE AWARD
"‘Knowledge is Dynamite" is an award that celebrates a child’s realization that education and hard work is a GOOD thing, that effort in the classroom and work at home bring accomplishment, that learning and knowledge has so much potential power it is like the explosive dynamite. We honor kids that are good leaders, who are kind, respectful, hard-working, diligent and an overall great kid. This may not be the child that gets the best grades or is picked first at recess for a game, but this is someone that makes the teachers day a good one, even on the bad days, and someone that you would all be proud to represent your school outside of your walls.
Thank you Dr. Kendall, Ms. Warren, Ms. McGuire and Ms. Towner for reading to our 2nd graders today. We were excited to have you. Happy National Reading Month!!

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌
This week serves as a reminder about the important role that we all play in keeping students safe. School buses are one of the safest vehicles on the road. Students who ride the bus are more likely to get to school safely, than those who are driven to school in a car. That is because school buses are designed with keeping children safe in mind. Thank you for following school bus safety rules and keeping our kids safe!
Lastly, thank you to our bus drivers who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of students to and from school! We appreciate you!
