USD 490 first through fourth grade students attended Body Venture in the Rec Center gym on September 11, 2025.

Body Venture is a traveling health exhibit operated by the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE)’s Child and Nutrition Wellness team. Students get to explore the amazing human body in an interactive way by walking through stations focused on different body systems and healthy habits. Students move through 11 engaging sections that teach them about nutrition, exercise, and making healthy choices using hands-on activities and volunteer presenters.

It took about 55 minutes to complete all stations. Students were grouped in eight to ten and a new group will entered the first station every five minutes to make sure all students had a chance to complete the activities.

To learn more about the program, visit KSDE’s website.

Fourth grade students at Blackmore Elementary read "Kids in Business" and put their reading skills into action and applying concepts to real life. They hosted a lemonade stand before school the week of September 22-26, 2025.

Students made signs to advertise the lemonade stand, were scheduled to work shifts to help with advertising and running the lemonade stand each morning. They sold bottles of water with either a lemonade or strawberry lemonade flavor packet for $1 that students could enjoy during the school day.

"They are learning about running a business and we are tying in money and math skills like addition and subtraction, so they are really getting a lot out of it," Blackmore Fourth Grade Teacher Hayden Rhodes said.

They sold out of lemonade and strawberry lemonade packets before it was time to close their stand on the first day, so they restocked to be prepared for the rest of the week. The money raised will be used to purchase items for the students to enjoy during recess.

Blackmore Elementary’s fourth graders are diving into an inspiring story this fall with their current read-aloud, Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. The book tells the story of Melody, a young girl with cerebral palsy who cannot walk or talk but is exceptionally bright. With the help of a special communication device called a MediTalker, Melody shows the world just how much she knows.

To connect the story to real life, Blackmore’s speech-language pathologists (SLPs) visited the fourth-grade classrooms to demonstrate communication devices and share how they support individuals who cannot use their voices in traditional ways. A classmate who uses a communication device even demonstrated firsthand how the technology works.

Grandview kindergarten students had an interactive experience learning about the seasons and how trees change throughout them on Sept. 22, 2025.

Mrs. Bright read "Tap the Magic Tree" while students shared their magic to make the leaves, buds, flowers, and apples appear, then shook, clapped, knocked and blew to help them fall off as the seasons changed.

Special shout-out to retired teacher Jim Shum for returning to play the important role of Tree. Visit the district Facebook page to view more photos.

Grandview Elementary fourth graders put their creativity, teamwork, and presentation skills to the test in a classroom edition of Shark Tank on Sept. 26, 2025. The project was inspired by their reading of Experts Incorporated and Kids in Business, which explore entrepreneurship and problem-solving.

Working in groups of three, students were challenged to invent a product that could solve a real-world problem. Each team had to name their product, identify the problem it addressed, and explain how it worked. They also created a diagram, determined their target audience, and outlined how they would use a $10,000 investment from the “Sharks” to launch their business.

Fourth and fifth grade students were given an opportunity to be a part of the Student Leadership Team. Interested students filled out an application, received recommendations by a staff member, and participated in an interview. Members were selected in September and the team is off to a great start.

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF) recently awarded Skelly Elementary a $3,445 grant to support its youth literacy program. This local grant is a part of more than $3.5 million recently awarded to nonprofit organizations, libraries and schools in Dollar General’s hometown communities across the country to help extend a brighter future for K-12 students.

“I will be purchasing decodables specifically designed for upper elementary students,” Cathie Rollings, Skelly Instructional Coach said. “These books are formatted more like graphic novels rather than the ‘beginner’ style decodables typically used in early grades.”

These books will provide struggling readers in upper elementary grades the opportunity to practice essential reading skills while maintaining age-appropriate engagement and confidence.

Skelly introduced this year's Skelly Street Leaders student leadership team on Sept. 23, 2025.

These students went through a rigorous process to get on this team, including an application process, requesting a letter of recommendation, interview skills lesson, and official interview. They learned about professional handshakes, interview attire, showing up early, and setting yourself apart after an interview by writing a thank you note.

Skelly is very proud of these students for making such a commitment to their building and community, and can’t wait to see what projects they complete!

Congratulations to our athletes of the week sponsored by Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Q.

Each month, our schools practice a safety drill to make sure everyone knows what to do and where to go if an emergency situation arises. October's drill is an Evacuation Drill. An evacuation would be called in an instance where something is unsafe within the school. All students and staff will evacuate to a pre-determined location, called a rally point, which is a safe distance from the building. It is important for students and staff to know where this rally point is so they are able to safely evacuate the school if the need ever arises.

Looking for safe, quality, affordable after school childcare? The YMCA would like to offer Key Academy at Skelly Elementary for after school childcare. In order to make the program viable, they need at least 10 students to register. Learn more and register online: https://ymcawichita.org/programs/child-care-and-camps/before-and-after-school/registration

El Dorado USD 490 is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of our students with vision, hearing, and dental screenings available at all schools. USD 490 partners with GraceMed Dental for dental screenings and cleanings for all USD 490 schools. Additionally, the Lion’s Club provides vision screenings for Pre-K through 1st grade students. Our nursing staff conducts required vision and hearing screenings for all students, in alignment with state regulations.

Dental Screening: a visual examination of your student’s teeth and gums to assess oral health. This is a fast exam where the dental team uses a light and mirror to examine the student’s mouth. No other procedures are done.

Dental Cleaning: Dental hygienists provide dental cleanings, fluoride varnish and sealants. No x-rays, exam, or restorative services such as fillings or tooth removal will be provided.

Hearing screenings in schools are a crucial component of early intervention for potential hearing loss. Hearing screenings can help identify hearing difficulties early on, minimizing the potential impact on academic performance, speech, and language development.

If further evaluation is necessary, Dr. Angela Bateman, Butler County Educational Audiologist, will provide free audiological evaluations to ensure students receive the appropriate care and support.

Vision screenings in schools are brief examinations to identify potential vision problems or eye conditions in students. The primary goal is not to diagnose vision issues, but to identify students who require a more comprehensive eye exam.

Please note that school vision screenings do not replace annual eye exams.

A Closer Look at Eye Exams

• First eye exam: 6–12 months of age

• Second eye exam: Between ages 3–5

• Before first grade

• Annually thereafter

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING ANY OF THE SCREENINGS PROVIDED, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE NURSING STAFF AT YOUR STUDENT’S SCHOOL OR KATY VOYLES, USD 490 DISTRICT NURSE, AT 316-322-4810

The It's Cool to Walk or Bike to School event sponsored by El Dorado Working on Wellness (EWOW) kicks off September 15, 2025 and runs through October 17, 2025. But any time is a good time to walk or ride a bike!

Children who exercise do better in school!
It improves concentration, memory, and classroom behavior. Regular exercise promotes positive mental health, builds strong bones and muscles, reduces the likelihood of developing obesity, decreases long term risk factors that can lead to chronic diseases and promotes better quality of sleep.

Walking and riding to school helps teach good safety habits, how to cross the street, watch for cars, and ride your bike on the correct side of the street.

Prizes: For every five (5) days your child walks or rides to and from school, they will be eligible to win water bottles, pool passes to the city pool, and other prizes.

Log Slips: Please turn in to the school office your walking/biking log slip showing every five days you walk/ride your bike to school! Log slips (that can be cut apart) are on the back of the attached flyer.

Buddy System: New this year - exercise with your buddies! Challenge yourselves to walk/ride every day together.

Route Map: Visit the USD 490 website at www.usd490.org to help you determine a safe route to school. Click on Enrollment, and scroll down.

Questions?: Have questions? Call the YMCA at 316-320-9622.

Dates: This program will begin on Monday, September 15 and end on Friday, October 17.

Who is behind this initiative?

• Please drop off your children between 7:30 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. at the designated area in front of the school.
• Have students exit directly onto the sidewalk from the passenger side of the vehicle. Do not stop to let them out or pick them up from the left lane.
• Please do not exit your vehicle in the drop off/pick up lane (the right-hand lane). If you need to leave your vehicle to assit your child, please park in a designated parking area (see blue oval on map) so traffic can continue to flow.
• If parking, make sure students exit toward the front of the vehicle and use the sidewalk and marked crosswalk (in yellow on map) to get to the school entrance safely.

Your cooperation helps us keep the process safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone. Thank you for making safety a top priority!
