Spell Bowl Team Sign-Ups!

Mrs. Boone will be coaching the Lanesville Elementary Spell Bowl team again this year! Open to all 4th–6th graders, Spell Bowl is a fun way to build vocabulary, practice the Indiana word list, and compete against other schools. Practices will be held on Wednesdays from 7:15–7:45 a.m., with drop-off at the flagpole, leading up to the competition on Monday, November 17 in Scottsburg. Students interested in joining should contact Mrs. Boone—let’s get ready to spell and shine!

Eagle Families- we wanted to let you know that we will not be having a Texas Roadhouse GC Fundraiser this year. We have participated in this fundraiser for several years over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We wanted to share this with our families so that they had ample time to plan in the event that they need to secure alternative gifts this year. We have had great success with this fundraiser in the past and truly appreciate your support! Unfortunately, the benefit and profit that schools earn from this fundraiser has decreased more and more each year. We will take this year off and hope to bring you a new fundraising opportunity in the future!

Please see the image below for some of the food pantries located in our county. Additionally, we have included a link to Harrison County Indiana Community Services for information about the resources they offer. Toggle over "Direct Services" to see information about the following programs: Food Pantry, Mobile Office, Community Meals, Crisis Assistance, Clothes Closet, and a Mobile Food Pantry.

Hello Eagle Families!

This week, we finished up our first lesson on the Eagle Pledge component: BEST EFFORT. Students discussed what it means to give their best effort- what is looks like, what it sounds like, what it feels like. They also dug a little deeper and learned about how that differs throughout our school day: at recess, during independent work time, with friendships, during academic time, etc. One of the biggest parts of this topic is ensuring that students recognize it's each person's PERSONAL BEST EFFORT. Being aware of their own strengths, weaknesses, and personal goals will be a focus over the next couple of weeks!

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's counselor!

This also means that any student in grades 5-8 who are participating in wrestling MUST have a physical on file with the school as well as adding wrestling as a sport via FinalForms. The link to sign up for FinalForms is below:
