Our Kindergarten students celebrated the Thanksgiving Holiday with crafts and snacks for all. Parents were invited in to help with centers in Ms. Supowitz’s and Mrs. McMahon's kindergarten classes. Centers included cookie decorating, art, and language arts activities. Children enjoyed working together and creating artifacts to take home and share with their families.

Please enjoy some of our highlights !!

Mrs. Flynn’s first grade class enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving poems they were working on together as a class. Students were working on their fluency and choral reading as they shared poems in small groups to the families. Parents were invited in to listen to the poetry and then everyone enjoyed homemade apple and pumpkin pie students made by hand themselves earlier in the day. It was a feast for all!

Please join us for our Annual Winter Concert. Students in our music program have been practicing and preparing for this joyful event. Our Band and Orchestra will perform special selections along with our 4th grade Chorus performances.

All are welcome to attend.

Performance at 7:00pm in Carl Sandburg Auditorium

COME AND WELCOME THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH US !!

Our school welcomed families of the Schweitzer community to classrooms during American Education Week. The research continues to indicate the importance and value of a home/school partnership. Effective schools have high levels of parental and community involvement. This involvement is strongly related to improved student learning, attendance, and behavior. We appreciate your willingness to join in our effort in making Schweitzer a caring and supportive community for our students!

Our most recent Mystery Motivator is Savannah Rakoczy in Ms. Flynn's 1st grade class. Savannah received a special certificate, CARES t-shirt and Build-a-Bear Gift Card.

CONGRATULATIONS SAVANNAH !!

Keep practicing CARES behavior and maybe you will be next !!

Officer Melissa Robison visited Mrs. McHugh's kindergarten class as a guest speaker for their social studies unit they're doing on 'My Neighborhood.' The class is participating in a project-based learning activity that requires them to understand and learn about their neighborhood, learn how they are a part of their neighborhood, and make connections to people and things in their neighborhood. Officer Robison came in as a guest expert to talk about her role as a police officer and how she helps the local community. Students were also encouraged to be a helper in the community and the class talked about ways they can support their community as Schweitzer students.

The Albert Schweitzer Holiday Shop needs your help to make it a memorable event for our children! The Holiday Shop teaches Albert Schweitzer Elementary children the importance of giving and is now a much anticipated holiday tradition. Each classroom takes part in a shopping experience based on the child’s list and budget, which they prepare at home. The event will be held from Monday, December 11th through Thursday, December 15th.
