American Legion Essay Contest Winners

The American Legion essay contest gave our students a great opportunity to reflect upon what Americanism means. Through the process of writing the essay, the children realized ways that they display Americanism or Patriotism every day. Thursday night the winners were presented with a certificate and monetary award at the American Legion’s monthly meeting. The students were able to speak with the Veterans who were very impressed with all of the essays submitted. Congratulations to our 4th and 5th grade winners!

This week EverGreen Elementary had two more career speakers.  Heather Chapman spoke with the 1st graders about being a pharmacist.  The students got to see how the things they are learning in math and science are used by pharmacists every day in their job.    Cristine Faustmann visited our 3rd grade classrooms, and spoke to the students about what an insurance investigator does.  They got to try out their own investigative skills to solve a few cases.

New Scholastic Children’s Dictionaries!

On January 31, 2018, the third grade students at EverGreen Elementary were the proud recipients of new Scholastic Children’s Dictionaries.  The Wayne County Community Foundation generously sponsors this project.  Each dictionary is inscribed with both the student and donor’s names. Foundation Board Director Mr. Mark James presented the dictionaries, and the students could not have been more grateful.  They are fascinated with the text features and illustrations of the beautiful dictionaries.  The students will put them to good use for writing workshop and language arts activities.
