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.
Stu from the South Bend Cubs visited West Side today for our kickoff to National Reading Month! Ask your student about their March reading goal! When students meet their goal, they earn a FREE ticket to a South Bend Cubs game in May; more info to come!

At the end of our CKLA unit on the human body, we invited guest speaker, Melody Knudson, to speak to our third grade students about hearing loss and how that can affect students just like them. Mrs. Knudson is the deaf and hard of hearing teacher at CIS. She shared a presentation with students about what it means to be deaf or hard of hearing, she showed the students many different signs in American Sign Language, and she offered students a chance to ask questions. It was a very informative, engaging, and enlightening learning opportunity for our students!
