Many thanks to all of you parents who supported Ryan on Friday night by attending the football game! The kids had a great time on the field cheering on our favorite player!
Fire Safety
On Friday we had firefighters from the Georgetown Fire Station come in and talk about the basics of fires. There were over 10,000 fires in Michigan last year and 1,379 of those fires were started by kids playing with matches, lighters or candles. To protect your family, it is important that you have working smoke detectors. Please change the batteries two times per year and if your smoke detector is more than 10 years old please throw it away and replace it with a new one. Also, please discuss a fire escape plan with your child(ren) and a meeting place like your mailbox or a neighbor’s house. The video we watched showing a real house fire, in a controlled setting, made it clear how quickly a fire can spread and that fire is dark, not light (because of the smoke). We are thankful to the Georgetown firefighters for visiting us and for helping to keep our community safe each day!
80s Walk-a-Thon
We were so bummed when the rain forced us to do our Walk-a-thon indoors until….. we got to the multi-purpose room and the music started playing and in seconds we were all doing Zumba with Mrs. Elders! We had a GREAT time!
Homecoming Pep Rally!
We had a FANTASTIC time at the Pep Rally on Friday! We were excited to see Ryan, who helped get the crowd ready for the big game! He also found his sister, Maggie, who is a 5th grader at Georgetown!
BOOK it!
*Our class is participating in the BOOK IT Program to provide an incentive for reading at home. The reading log that your son/daughter brings home nightly will serve as the record, so the extra calendar is not needed to record reading time. I will remind students to bring their reading logs and books home nightly. Please help, by reminding your son/daughter to get out the reading log and read 20 minutes each night. At the end of each month we will collect the reading log sheets and the students who read nightly will receive a coupon for a FREE personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
*Also, starting Friday, October 5 graphic novels will be omitted from the bookshelves. Students will not read them at school, nor for their 20 minute reading time. However, they can be read after the 20 minute homework minimum. Students will be recommending books to each other throughout the year, to insure reading more of a variety of genres.
October 5 Football Game
Dear Parents,
I have some more detailed information regarding the football game Friday, October 5th. The high school football players were asked to give back to the community by volunteering in classrooms this fall. They were asked to think of a teacher who has influenced them and I was excited and honored to find out that a former student of mine, Ryan Szlachcic, has chosen me as that teacher. He is doing so well connecting with and helping the kids in our room! He will continue to help in our classroom every Friday through the regular football season. Ryan comes into our room for the last 45 minutes of our day.
As a thank you for hosting Ryan, the kids in our class will be receiving a free ticket to the Friday, October 5th game, I will attach it to our Tuesday Homework Packet. The kids will be invited to form a tunnel on the football field to welcome the players onto the field at the beginning of the game. The kids are asked to meet me at 6:30 on the grass fields, north of the football field. You can drop your child off there and then pick them up there after we come off the field. I will have a couple of adults to help me keep our class together. Please have your child wear Hudsonville or Maize and Blue to support our Eagles!
I am looking forward to this fun event with my students!

Hudsonville Safety Night- Tuesday, September 18
Kindergarten Buddies!
One of the biggest highlights of each day is providing a service to our Kindergarten buddies. We help them put up their chairs, sing the good-bye poem, and then take them out to their buses, or walk them to parent pick up or to Eagle’s Nest. 
Football Game Update
The football game we are being invited to has a different date, it will NOT be on September 14 as told earlier. The new date is Friday, October 5. On that new date we have been invited to join Ryan Szlachcic on the field. There will be more information to come.
Sharks and Minnows
What’s the BEST way to end a week? Play Sharks and Minnows with our Hudsonville Senior football player Ryan Szlachcic! Before our game, Ryan helped us collect the recycling papers and bring them out to the Paper Gator. We look forward to watching him play next Friday at Eagle Stadium!
