FEBRUARY 6- NATIONAL SCHOOL

COUNSELORS DAY: We celebrate our school counselor, Mrs. Kayla Rick, who does so

much at our school each day. Her job is never ending. Not only

does she meet with children and assist them with making better

plans for behavior and learning, but she teaches lessons each day to our classes on

a variety of social, emotional and behavior issues. She is our right arm at our

school and we are so lucky to have Mrs. Rick working with our children each day. If

you are looking for her, you will rarely find her sitting down at her desk, because

she seems to be on the move everywhere in the building. She has a challenging

job. She also helps direct our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention System) plan

and our SOAR goals. THANKS MRS. RICK.

TO THE ICE AGE TRAIL… 4TH GRADE FIELD TRIP: In the past few weeks

our 4th graders have had the privilege of going to the Ice Age trail up near New Auburn, WI. There they learn

about a number of outdoor games and technology of prior eras. Here are some pictures from Mrs. Davis Class

when they visited. SAWING, SNOW SHOEING, THROWING A HATCHET AND MUCH MORE.
