A Message from Mrs.Stroud
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!

Class Meetings
Our classrooms start each day with a class meeting. This provides students and teachers the opportunity to build relationships, practice social skills, and problem-solve as a community.
Homecoming Parade
The crowd on Main Street was great to see! Our students enjoyed wearing their new shirts in the parade. It was a sea of red!
Little League Night
Our little Whirlwind football players, cheerleaders and coaches were introduced at a varsity football game. It is a wonderful sight seeing our stadium full of Whirlwinds!
Fifth Grade Teachers at Math Professional Development
Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. New attended a math professional development at UCM. They were eager to get back to their classrooms to implement some new strategies.
Literacy in Music
Our new vocal music teacher attended a conference for music teachers this month along with new teacher training. Ms. Bryson understands the benefits of literacy in her music program! We are happy to have her at Archie!
