Another end of the year favorite project story... On Mother’s Day, Chieftain Elementary’s All School Project became the talk of the town, with adorable photos hitting social media! According to Chieftain and Central Elementary’s Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) teacher, Angela Pippin, she switches up the lessons from reading to visual learning, and for this assignment the students read "A Crow's Tale”, which is a story of bravery and kindness, showing it's what's inside that makes you beautiful, not how you look on the outside.

Chieftain Elementary Student Council raised money to start a Little Free Library! A Little Free Library is a free book exchange. It belongs to everyone, and everyone can use it! Families can stop by and take a book or leave a book. The library was recently installed and is open for business. Anyone wishing to donate books for the library can send them to Chieftain, care of Mrs. Herrick.

Last week Chieftain Elementary celebrated Right to Read week. Students read over 2,000 books in one week! Parents came in as 'mystery readers' and students paired up with buddy classes to read during the week. We are very proud of our amazing readers. Students earned tickets for books read and we gave away four bicycles. Congratulations to Meadow Sailor, Bryce Doup, Kaden Harris, and Kaylin Ray.

Chieftain Elementary students partnered with Ryan Patton to do a drive for Children's Hospital. Ashlee Boucher is pictured with Ryan with a few of the items that were donated. We collected new blankets, books, pillows, stuffed animals, and coloring books. Families donated over 400 items. Mrs. Montgomery's first grade class donated 133 items and won a pizza party for their hard work. Thank you to everyone that donated!
