Farmer Cindy came to the Kinder's classroom and taught a lesson about the bay tree she has on her farm (and how we use bay leaves for cooking). The kids drew the leaves, nuts, and seedlings in their plant journals.
K-3 PE did winter themed stations. 8th grade got to join in on the fun with 2nd grade! Curling, ski jump, snowball toss, and build-a-snowman stations.
The Kindergarten students created characters for their Pumpkin Patch Storyline!
Thank you to Bailey Nurseries for becoming a Garden Program Sponsor.
Tomorrow is Knock-Knock Joke Day. Students, bring in your favorite jokes to share with your homeroom teacher. The top knock-knock jokes will be read over the school's PA system throughout the day.

Middle School Update:
As we head into a new trimester, Mr. Hess would like all middle school families to know that students must have a separate pair of shoes for PE. These need to stay clean to protect our gym floor and maintain a safe playing surface. Even if you wear athletic shoes to school, you must have a clean pair for the gym. No crocs, boots, dress shoes or slippers.
Beginning this trimester, being prepared with proper PE shoes will now be part of the middle school’s PE assessments for grading. If you don't have access to an extra pair of shoes, please contact Mr. Hess (rhess@sauvieislandschool.org) as he has extra shoes and can assign a pair to your student.

Our second annual See's Candies fundraiser is currently underway! Order forms went home with students on 11/6/25 and are due back on Tuesday, 12/2/25. Orders will be ready to go home with students on Friday, 12/19/25.
See's Candies make delicious treats and wonderful holiday gifts, and the upcoming Thanksgiving break is a perfect time to ask family and friends to support our school through a purchase.
We are also excited to share that the PTC is establishing a new scholarship program for high school graduates who are Sauvie Island School alumni. Proceeds from this year's See's Candies fundraiser will help establish the "Ava Lee Crews Memorial Scholarship," created in honor of Ava Crews.
Thank you so much for your continued support of our school and scholars!
