We have a big week coming up next week……conferences! Prior to break, you should have received an invite with he time of your conference. Please make sure you arrive on time and bring your child with you. This will once again be a student-led conference. You will be in the classroom with your child leading you through the goals he/she has accomplished so far this year. Your child will reflect with you on all of his/her strengths as well as share his/her plan for success. It is great to hear from your child the plans they have in place to continue to grow as a learner. Our students have been very excited to see the progress they have made since the beginning of the year. As we say here at Churchill; “Hard work…PAYS OFF!”

We have had a very busy week at Churchill School. On Wednesday we got to see many of our own talented students perform in the variety show assembly. On Thursday, the Hoffman Hawks came to school to introduce their new reading program. On Friday, our wonderful room parents celebrated the end of the year with us at our winter parties.
We know many great things are going to be happening at Churchill in 2012. All of our staff wishes you and your family a wonderful and well deserved winter break. We look forward to seeing you back on Tuesday, January 3rd. Have a wonderful new year!

Dear Churchill Community,
There is so much that goes on behind the scenes here at Churchill School that you might not even realize. We want to take this opportunity to spotlight a group of dedicated students here at Churchill. This is a group of wonderful, respectful, responsible students who volunteer their time every day to help ensure the safety of all of our students. Sure their job looks pretty great in wonderful warm weather, but these students will brave the cold, rain, ice, and snow! This group is our very own student Safety Patrols. These students take on a leadership roles at Churchill. They help our students get on their buses; welcome our students each day by opening our doors, broadcast our morning pledge and announcements every day, and collect our attendance each morning. We have been very impressed with their leadership! They truly are role models for all of our students. If you see our safety patrols doing their job please be sure to thank them! We also cannot forget to thank Mrs. Tomchuk and Mrs. Meyer who have worked very hard to recruit, train, and support these students throughout the year. Keep up the great work Safety Patrols!
We are also excited to share with you that this week was American Education Week. We are very proud of our students and staff, as well as the many fine opportunities we are able to provide at Churchill School. In order to celebrate this special week, we encouraged our parents to visit during the regular school day to see what a typical day looks like for your children. On November 17th, teachers and students welcomed visitors to their classrooms to share in a typical day of learning. If you were able to attend we hope you found your child’s classroom environment motivating and witnessed the students engaged in their learning. They were so excited for their special visitors to spend the day with them!
Additionally, we are equally excited to share the success of Churchill’s First Inaugural Turkey Trot hosted by our very own P.E. teacher, Mr. Wroblewski. 5th and 6th grade students from Churchill, Lincoln Prairie, and Muir participated in this one mile race at Eisenhower Jr. High School. Despite the snow and cold temperatures, the students were amazing! Mr. Wroblewski reported that through the students’ food donations, we were able to collect 196 items with a total weight of 192 pounds for the District 54 food pantry. So many district 54 families will benefit from these donations. Congratulations to Mr. Wroblewski for putting together this fantastic opportunity for the 5th and 6th grade students. This was truly an amazing event that brought together 44 students in our community.
Just as a reminder, Winter MAP testing will begin right after the Thanksgiving holiday, beginning on November 28th and continuing through December 16th. This is a great opportunity for you and your child to review the goals you set together with their teacher(s) at conferences. On behalf of the staff and students of Churchill School we wish your family a very safe and happy Thanksgiving Holiday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lindblade & Mrs. Hopkins

After a long weekend with our families Churchill is in full swing this week. We will begin our second round of MAP testing on Tuesday. This will continue through next week. Don’t forget to ask your child if he/she met his/her goal! We are very excited to show off all we have learned in the first half of the year.

Mr. Wroblewski wanted to thank everyone that participated in the Turkey Trot this afternoon. Despite the snow, sleet, and freezing wind, our kids were troopers! Through their food donations, we were able to collect 196 items with a total weight of 192 pounds for the District 54 food pantry. What an amazing sign of generosity exhibited by our families. I am positive that many families will benefit from these donations this holiday season.
