Good evening, Iron Station families!
Although Friday morning brought a few sprinkles of rain, it certainly did not dampen our gratitude as we came together to honor our local veterans during our special Veterans Day program. We are thankful for all who have served our country and for the opportunity to recognize their service and sacrifice!
Here are a few important reminders for the week ahead:
November 9–13 – National Kindness Week: This week, we are spreading kindness throughout our school and community! On Monday, students will bring home a green Kindness Bingo board challenging them to complete random acts of kindness throughout the week. Students who complete a BINGO, have a parent or guardian sign the bottom, and return their board to Mrs. Gilbert by Tuesday, November 17th, will be entered into a drawing for a special prize! We hope our Engineers will enjoy spreading a little extra kindness this week!
Wednesday, November 11 – Veterans Day: There will be no school for students or staff as we honor those who have served our country.
Thursday, November 12 – 5th Grade Field Trip: Our fifth graders will travel to the Lincoln County School of Technology after lunch to tour the school and explore future opportunities. If you do not wish for your fifth grader to attend, please send a written note to their teacher.
Friday, November 13 – All Pro Dads: We invite all dads, father figures, and other important adults in our Engineers' lives to join their students for All Pro Dads at 7:20 a.m. in our school cafeteria! We hope to see you there!
Friday, November 13 – Kindergarten Field Trip: Our kindergarten Engineers will travel to the Catawba Science Center for a fun day of hands-on learning and exploration! If you have any questions about the trip, please reach out to your child's teacher.
And one final reminder! As the weather gets cooler and more jackets and hoodies make their way to school, please encourage your child to keep up with their belongings. Our lost and found collection is growing quickly! Labeling jackets and hoodies with your child's name is a great way to help us return misplaced items.
Thank you, families, for your continued support and partnership! Let's make this a week filled with kindness, gratitude, and learning as we keep our Engineers On Track for Success!
Have a wonderful evening!
