    Our Secretary is David and our Historian is Violet. We discussed what is going to happen on important days like September 15, National Dot Day. We will have some of our  pride council members support our National Dot Day Celebration. Also, we are having our Veterans Day Celebration and a lot of our pride council members are helping with this important event. We will also have a family activity that reinforces the importance of reading at home. This will be called “Read for the Record.” Our pride council members that will help out with the celebrations are Londyn, Drusella, Katrina, Sydney, Violet, Kellie, Autumn, David, Larissa, Henzley, Cora, Gavin and Amy.

    Thursday,October 6, 2016: We had our October meeting.  We discussed our Read for the Record school wide activity. We want to promote reading at home. During the week of October 24 - 28, students are encouraged to read at home every night during this week. The winning class will get a fabulous “CONGRATULATIONS!” surprise. We have so many great ideas for the fantastic winners. The people that  helped out were Sydney, Katrina, Larissa,Cora, Ellis and David. Everybody helped out creating the surprise. We all worked hard and "Read for the Record" is a fabulous and fun way to read.                                   


    We also have our “Favorite Character Pumpkin Patch.”  Kellie, Bridget, Londyn, Katrina, and Cora made fabulous book characters out of pumpkins. We already have awesome pumpkins  outside the library. We need more students to make more pumpkins characters and help grow our pumpkin patch.   


    Last, we discussed our Veterans Day Celebration, which will be held on November 11. They have some awesome ideas, and I think everybody will love this too. Check back in November for more details.

The winners were Mrs.Field’s 3rd Grade class, Mrs. Duncan’s 1st Grade class, and Mr.Sullivan’s 4th Grade class. They all should be proud of what they did. Pride Council was excited to sponsor this significant event. The volunteers put hearts on grade-level doors to congratulate them for their success.
