Numa
Numa Elementary School held its annual Turkey Trot event, raising funds for new physical education equipment. The event brought together staff members, students, and their families, who took turns “trotting” around the “turkey track” (the school’s parent pick-up loop) for 15 minutes. Participants earned points for their class and tribe each time they completed a lap, with the goal of accumulating as many points as possible. In a spirited competition, Colleen Tutty's fourth-grade and Tara Rogers' fifth-grade classes earned the most points and won a special turkey sandwich lunch. The event raised over $1,000, which will go towards purchasing much-needed PE equipment. The event brought together the school community while collecting PE program funds.

ECB students have been focusing on gratitude. Second-grade students created giant turkeys that adorned the halls. The students filled the turkeys’ feathers with things they were thankful for in their lives. The third graders have been keeping gratitude journals, helping them recognize and reflect on the positive aspects of their lives. This focus on gratitude has become a central theme at ECB, encouraging students to develop a more profound sense of thankfulness and mindfulness. During Thanksgiving Break, the staff of ECB would like to extend their warmest wishes to all their families and wish you all a wonderful break.

Students in Lisa Mills' class had a Friendsgiving Feast. The students brought in ingredients for a class soup, as well as pies, cookies, and cupcakes, to enjoy. The classroom was filled with laughter, delicious food, and a sense of community as the students bonded over their contributions. This was a fantastic way for the students to come together and celebrate the spirit of giving and friendship right before Thanksgiving Break. Everyone brought something unique to the table, and all left feeling thankful and full.
Northside Early Learning Center
Students in Laura Lee’s class embraced all things fall while engaging in hands-on learning experiences that combine science, literacy, and social-emotional skills. From acting out the pumpkin life cycle to exploring fine motor skills with playdough and painting pumpkins, the young learners had fun while building a variety of skills. Students also took part in exciting science experiments, such as creating “explosions” by mixing water and vinegar. This activity sparked curiosity and also helped the kids understand basic scientific concepts and the difference between the two substances. Through these fall-themed activities, students practiced sequencing, improving their fine motor abilities, and enhancing their social-emotional development, all while engaging in imaginative play.
