In Music and Mindfulness class the 2nd & 3rd grade students have begun mindful movement on yoga mats. The 4th graders will begin mindful movement after Christmas break as they have been working extra on their preparations for their holiday concert. The students are already enjoying this mindful movement practice for growing a stronger body and mind and will continue this practice in the new year.
The Verellen students grew 592 hearts on our Autumn Kindness Tree by using their Duke Values. They are currently working to use their Duke Values to decorate the December Christmas Kindness tree with Duke Value ornaments.

Yesterday we had our Fall Fundraiser Assembly where we announced our top 10 sellers! We also had drawings for a $100 dollar bill, 2 $50 Amazon gift cards and some additional prizes. There were 354 tickets in the drawing for each time a student sold 5 items. Congratulations to the lucky winners! We had 164 sellers and 3 classrooms earned a free recess for having 60% participation.
We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to our students, families and the community for your support through selling and purchasing items.
Mrs. Yaworski's class watched a Veteran's Day video on PBS Kids to understand the history and meaning of Veterans and Veterans Day. They also viewed a beautiful version of America the Beautiful, sung a cappella by Veterans of all branches. The students then made cards for Veterans they knew, and did not know, to thank them and show their appreciation.
The Verellen students have been practicing how to use the conflict resolution “Time Machine” mat in Music and Mindfulness. We are excited that we now have this Time Machine mat available for students to use on our playgrounds! The step by step visuals and verbiage on this mat helps calmly transform hurtful acts into problem solving skills that aid in life lessons through the use of respectful, assertive communication.
A big thank you to community member Michael Schingeck for painting it on both playgrounds! The Verellen students are already using this helpful mat and its conflict resolution verbiage to calmly solve their problems.
Yesterday our 2nd and 4th grade students participated in the Think! Energy program. They learned about the importance of energy, natural resources and environmental resources. Students were given energy-efficient technologies to install at home. Thank you, Consumers Energy!
