Principal
Spirit Day
Wednesday, June 7th
This month is all about Summer, the sun, and the beach. Please help your child dress for a day at the beach, or the lake. This can be shorts, t-shirts, sandals, flip-flops, sunglasses, sun hats, etc. Please make sure that there are no swim suits, and that your child isn’t wearing something that will distract them throughout the day.
*3rd Grade is in charge of popcorn, so if you can help out from 7:30-8:30am please let your teacher know.

This month is all about hats. Kids can choose to wear a hat of any kind, crazy or not. Please make sure that your child isn’t wearing something that will distract them throughout the day.
* Second Grade classes are in charge of popping the popcorn this month, so if you can help them out please call 541-935-8214. Thanks!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of the amazing teachers here at Elmira Elementary!
If you didn’t hear this from anyone today {{and even if you did}}
Thanks for all that you did today in your classroom.
For making a million little split second decisions for the benefit of your students.
For putting your own needs on hold and keeping them the focus of your day.
For planning for them long before today ever got rolling.
For changing those plans because they didn’t fit someone who needed a little extra.
For smiling, laughing with them and reassuring their efforts, trials and mistakes.
For placing your hand on a shoulder that was exactly what someone needed.
For getting down on the physical level of your students because it matters.
For thinking of a new way to reach someone who wasn’t getting it.
You matter.
Yes –
You matter.
