Hello Fall

A Message from Mrs.Stroud

September flew by and now we are headed right into fall! We are off to a great start at Archie Elementary. Students are settling into classroom routines and developing relationships within their classrooms!


Our Little League football players and cheerleaders made an appearance at a football game this month. It is great for our little Whirlwinds to be a part of our high school games. Our Little League volleyball players will make their debut at the JV/Varsity game on Tuesday, October 3rd. We are looking forward to seeing a big crowd! I encourage all families to come out to our high school events! Let's show our school spirit!


October is Bully Prevention Month, parent teacher conferences, and Red Ribbon Week. We appreciate your support by talking to your children about these events and helping us meet our goal of 100% participation in parent teacher conferences. Your partnership in your child's education is what helps make us #ArchieStrong!
