Please join me in giving a HUGE Shout-Out to our teachers not only this week, but this entire month as we start off May with Teacher Appreciation Week! When you see teachers before or after school, please tell them thank you - or give them an extra high-five to help keep their spirits high as we finish this year strong with our awesome kids!

Get ready for the 3rd Annual SRC Little Feet Meet! Special Olympics of Nebraska will be joining with Shelby Rising City Elementary School to host a Unified Track Event. This event breaks down barriers and includes people of all abilities to create a more inclusive and accepting school community. The initiative seeks to give students with and without disabilities the opportunity to train together, to create friendships and to foster mutual respect. This year’s event will feature stations for the kids to work through with each other. The event will be on May 9th at 2:00.

We will have our Elementary Awards Assembly on Thursday, May 16th @ 1:30 p.m.

The following are just a few of the awards that will be given to students at the assembly:

• Presidential Excellence Award (5th grade students only)

• Presidential Achievement Award (5th grade students only)

• Track and Field Day (3rd-5th grade students only)

• Honor Roll

• Acadience Testing Awards (highest score at each grade level & most growth at each grade level)

• MAP Growth Assessment Awards (highest score at each grade level & most growth at each grade level)

• IXL Awards (most questions answered at each grade level - top 5)

...and much, much more!!

Be on the lookout for some GREAT stuff coming from your S-RC School Library!

1. ALL library books will be due on May 10th!

2. Mrs. Peterson will be sending home Summer Check out Permission Forms (just like last year). By signing this form, you will be allowing your child to come into the library and check out books without you! This means that your child will be able to keep reading and enjoy any books they would like from the library (up to three at a time) on their own.

3. Be on the lookout for more information about the Husky 2024 Summer Golden Sower Reading Challenge! It's going to be great - and I hope you can encourage your children to participate!

The last day of school for the 23-24 school year is quickly approaching! May 21st is the LAST DAY for all students. School will dismiss at 1:25 that day. Please plan accordingly.

Did you know that you could use IXL over the summer months? It's true! You will still have access to IXL until the end of July! I would encourage you to have your child login and work on IXL at their current grade level (or even next year's grade level if they have already mastered skills at this year's grade level) for at least 10-15 minutes a day throughout the summer months. Once they have done this, then they can earn some of their other screen time.

If you do not have your child's username and password, please reach out to their teacher!

Attention Parents: Shelby-Rising City's Bank at School is back for deposits on May 14th!

If you and your child have not visited the branch to get a savings account open—now is the time! Then be sure your child brings their account information with them on Tuesday, April 9th as we do not have access to account information from the school.

We will have our 5th grade bank tellers on hand to continue helping your child become savvy savers and build up their existing account.

Note: No change will be accepted for deposits at school. We ask that deposits are $1 minimum.
