Staff and family had a great time Wednesday night at our annual Math & Lit Family Night!

We enjoyed all the games and activities, Kona Ice, the Book Fair, and hanging with our friends! We also enjoyed seeing Ms. Witkemper and Mr. Witt go head-to-head in a basketball competition!

Better luck next year, Ms. Witkemper!

Thank you to everyone who helped plan our fun activities! Thank you to everyone who came tonight! We also want to give a big thank you to Ms. Lacefield for organizing a terrific Book Fair!

2nd grade students helped collect over 400 pairs of shoes to help a WaterStep project that will help fund clean water projects around the world!

The students learned how difficult it can be to clean water and researched ways that WaterStep helps make this possible for those in need. They created advertisements for the school and we all want to thank you for helping make this project a success!

Miss Busch’s class has been learning the game of chess and had their own

March Madness Chess Tournament.

Thang Van was the classroom champion and then battled Ms. Witkemper. He was narrowly defeated in a hard fought match.

Congratulations Thang!

Fifth Grade celebrated Pi Day - 3/14/23! Students worked to memorize as many digits of Pi as possible. A few lucky students even got to “Pi” their teachers!

Mrs. Westerhof’s 3rd grade class made kindness bags for all support staff or other staff who work in the building. Students delivered their bags today!

Thanks to all of you for spreading kindness today!

Every Friday in the LGI room students have the opportunity to purchase fun toys and gadgets from the Eagle Emporium. All proceeds go to help the “Giving Project,” an event every December that helps give students the opportunity to give Christmas gifts to their family.

Items available for purchase are pictured below!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Starting Monday, February 27th, we will be conducting boundary school visits for students. On

their scheduled day, students will be bussed to their 23-24 boundary school. Students will be accompanied by administrators on the buses.

Once they arrive, they will be welcomed by the school staff and administrators who will show them around the building. The building tours will take place from February 27 - March 13 during the day.

If you have any questions or do not wish for your child to participate, please contact your current building principal by Friday, February24th.

Thank you for your participation as we help students make this transition.

Best,

Vickie Carpenter

Assistant Superintendent for Foundational Learning

CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN FOR SCHOOL!

Check out our website ... Southport Youth Football

NFL Flag at Cardinal Stadium is a 5 vs. 5, non-contact, recreational, co-ed league for children as young as 4 years old (Pre-Kindergarten) to 14 years old (8th Grade). We limit teams to 10 players or fewer to maximize playing time. This is an exceptional program for first time players who want to learn the fundamentals of football, and at the same time our league is also a wonderful opportunity for players who may want to continue to enhance their fundamentals and agility.

There are no try-outs and everyone participates! Children are placed on teams according to school, grade, and coach/buddy request. We do our best to make sure teams are even and good competition takes place each week.

This is a 6 game season with games played Sundays and a 1 Day Single Elimination Tournament at the end of the season. Practices take place one hour prior to game time each week to ensure a convenient and fun experience for all.

Participants will receive a NFL reversible jersey and flag belt. Mouth Guards are required and available for purchase at Cardinal Stadium.
