Building Reports Mr. Scholl, East Side Elementary Principal, stated ISTEP tutoring began in January and will continue after school every Tuesday and Thursday in February until the first round of the statewide assessment begins. Approximately 25 students from each grade level work with teachers on targeted skills that will help them be successful on the ISTEP test. Mrs. Wright organized the Great Kindness Challenge Week at the end of January and it was wildly successful. Students and staff were challenged to compile 2,000 random acts of kindness during the week. East Side students ended up compiling 2411 acts of kindness and as a reward they will get to witness Mrs. Wright kiss one of Mrs. Cutter s finest goats. The 4 th grade will perform their annual Hoosier Heroes Wax Museum on Thursday, March 9, 2017 from 1:30 to 2:30. Each student researches a Hoosier hero of their choice and prepares a short presentation. On the date of the wax museum, all 4 th graders stand motionless in our main hall, dressed as their hero, with a button in front of them. When a passerby steps on the button the wax figure comes to life and tells their story. Mr. Kevin Rockey, Edinburgh Middle/High School Principal, stated the conference academic meet that we hosted last year is at Hauser in two weeks. The 7 th and 8 th grade has been working on a Math focus and English focus every two weeks in home room. We take the entire 7 th grade up to one of the larger instructional rooms. The teacher will teach them on
Tuesday and then the rest of the week they take this back to their homerooms and work on the same skills. This gives the students a chance to work on additional skills in Math and English. Band and Choir had a Valentines Day Cabaret and was very successful. Last week was school counselor week and Mr. Rockey thanked Mrs. Foltz and Mrs. Wright for all of their hard work. Last week, the Sunshine Society sponsored Kindness Challenge Week. They had special recognitions for staff members one day and students another day. On the last day, we purposely recognized one person from each category: a staff member, David Haywood; a teacher, Mrs. Detamore; and a student, McKenna Tetrick. In conjunction with kindness challenge week, we raised money for Special Olympics and had a unified game. Sixth grade students have been working on their science projects and they are on display outside the office area. B.
