Our Pizza Ranch Fundraiser is on Monday, November 13 from 5-8 pm!
Remember to invite everyone you can! They can eat in and we get 10% of the proceeds! Plus we get to keep all the tips that go in our buckets. Mondays are also half price games in the Fun Zone so it’s the perfect day to come out to Pizza Ranch with the family!
Please share on your Facebook and tell friends and family! Thank you to Karina Dachtler for organizing this event!


Miss Nelson's 4th graders took advantage of the nice weather last Friday and read outside in the Outdoor Classroom!!



Meet our new clerical, Sheri Glover! We are very appreciative of all of her help every day helping Jane Addams run smoothly! She is doing a fantastic job learning all of the new systems and getting to know all of the students and families! Be sure to wish her a happy belated birthday as she celebrated earlier this week! Welcome to our school!


Student Council elections were held on Wednesday, October 18th! Students were excited to check in to vote, receive a ballot, and cast their vote in the voting booth! Thank you to Rob Hollan for organizing and running Student Council! Congrats to all of the winners! All candidates should be proud of their efforts as it takes a lot of courage to say a speech in front of their peers, present a poster, and run for election! Great job to all!









The second graders set a class goal of reaching 500 tickets so they could earn a stuffie party in class! They did it! Way to go!


Here are our High Flyers this week! Thanks for working hard to be a good leader at Jane Addams!

Miss Nelson's 4th graders and Mrs. Gray's 5th graders meet once a week with their buddy classroom from Mrs. Peterson's 4th-5th grade class from EIC. They enjoy playing games with each other!




The K-2 Science Club were engineers today while building towers out of paper to see if they could withhold the weight of a can for 30 seconds! They were so excited to test out their builds! Way to go! Thanks for all of the parent help!

Congrats to our High Flyers! We are proud you worked hard to be a good leader this week! Way to go!








Our Eagle Expectation for this week was to "Disagree Respectfully." Students learned these skills in the classroom and practiced and reviewed throughout the week. Discuss with your child at home what they learned about disagreeing respectfully. Keep working hard on all these social skills, Eagles!



Save the date for the Fall Festival!
