French Run Elementary

I am excited to announce we have partnered with Bonzy Charities and the Marzetti Company in the month of November. This partnership will provide every student at French Run with a brand new winter coat!

On Thursday November 6th, students will have the opportunity to pick out and try on winter coats while at school. Every class will come to the gym at their designated times and each student will be partnered with a volunteer. The volunteers will find the right size and help students pick out a coat they like. Once students have picked out their new coat, their name will be written on the inside tag so they do not lose it.

Thank you to Bonzy Charities and the Marzetti company for providing new coats to our French Run students.

Intervention spotlight: speech and language therapy

Students in Ms. Wollam's speech therapy groups read "The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin" and decorated their own Spookley's!

1st Grade

1st graders learned all about living things, like apples, and even learned the science behind applesauce while making it (and tasting it)!

3rd Grade

Third Graders completed the Ohio State Reading Test and earned a staff vs. students dodgeball reward!

5th Grade

Fifth graders completed a food truck project. Students utilized their area and perimeter skills to design a food truck. Second and Third graders were kind enough to come to our classrooms and "buy" items from our food trucks. 5th graders utilized their knowledge of adding and subtracting decimals to figure out how much their food truck made. One food truck made $729.34!

Fifth graders have also learned about inventors and the writing process in ELA!

Introducing the French Run Challenge Coin

As part of our PBIS awards in connection with our monthly Pride assemblies, Mr. Fetty would like to introduce the French Run Challenge Coin. Students who are nominated for a monthly Pride Award will receive a certificate, a t-shirt and our new challenge coin.

The challenge coin was created to represent who we are as a school and as a learning community. The coin has our Felix the Firebird mascot on the front. Around the edge of the coin you will find our S.O.A.R expectations of Self Control, On-Task, Accepting, and Respect. You will also see other characteristics that are important to French Run such as Perseverance, Integrity, Empathy and Citizenship.

The back of the coin is representative of what it takes to receive a Pride Award. A soaring firebird, leadership and respect.

It is our hope that this will be a treasured keepsake for our students to remember their time at French Run for years to come.

Donuts with the Principal is a monthly incentive program for our students who demonstrate positive behaviors throughout the month. 78 students were nominated by their teachers to have a donut with the principal. These students demonstrate our S.O.A.R expectations daily and set a great example for all students to follow.

Here is what it means to S.O.A.R:

S - Self Control

O - On Task

A - Accepting

R - Respect

Congratulations to this months nominees for Donuts with the Principal.
