Attention families, We have an Explorer site council of parents and community members who meet with me several times a year to learn more about what's going on in the school and ask any questions they may have. Our first site council meeting will be a joint elementary meeting this coming Monday, September 18th at Oak Street Elementary which is at 501 N. Oak St. in Goddard. The meeting starts at 6:00PM. At this first meeting Captain Phelps of the Goddard school district police department will present on school safety and have a question and answer session. Please join us if you are interested.

Good Afternoon! Family Fun Night is THIS Thursday (September 14th) from 6pm to 8pm. We are in need of a few volunteers to help make the night a success
We need volunteers to help with the yard games, raffles and splash tower. Please consider signing up to work a shift or two. The more volunteers we have the less time each person has to give up with their family.

Attention, families, you can sign up through the imagination library to get a free, age-appropriate book every month for your child until their fifth birthday. Please see the attached flyer.
Families, if you drop off your child in the morning please use the front entrance and not the west entrances. There is traffic there and after the buses unload, those doors are locked.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Mr. Hollas
Our second graders are studying government at work and had firefighters as guest speakers today.
Check out this playground drawing from Explorer. In each class, teachers and students talk about how they want to be treated and how they treat others as part of the Capturing Kids Hearts program. Some of these conversations are also taking place on the playground.
Once a month on a checkout day, students get to play with the fun toys/games in library! They always build some creative things!
Last week in library, kindergarteners read the book How to Catch a Class Pet and then built a little home for a finger puppet "pet" they were given!
As a reminder, all schools and district offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 4th in honor of Labor Day. We hope everyone has a safe time celebrating this holiday weekend!
Ike the Tiger and the EHS cheerleaders came to visit us this amazing Friday!
It's great to see some of our amazing paras transitioning into the teaching profession. Here Ms. Laurel is teaching a 3rd grade science lesson and doing a great job. She is going to be a fantastic teacher!
Explorer Families! We have car rider signs! WHOOP WHOOP!
Please email your student's teachers if you're in need of any, we will send them home in your student's backpack. Mr. Hollas will also be handing them out at pickup this afternoon.
Thank you to our PTO for buying many of our Cleartouch boards last year and paying for on site professional development today so that teachers can use them to their fullest capabilities.
