Chisholm Update
November 10, 2023
Happy Friday Chisholm Families!
Thank You, Veterans!
This morning we had members from the UCO Color Guard present the colors during Charge Up. We also had students from different grade levels dressed up in patriotic colors, sang some patriotic-themed songs, and recognized veterans for Veteran's Day. Click the button below to watch the video tribute that the students watched today for family members of students who serve or previously have served our country.
On Monday of this week, our students were able to watch a fire prevention safety skit presented by the Edmond Fire Department in conjunction with Fire Safety Prevention Month. Some of the items discussed during this presentation were making sure there is a working fire alarm in the house, and that families have an evacuation plan including exit paths from the house and a safe place to meet up once everyone has evacuated the house. We would like to thank our fire department for sharing these important reminders during this presentation.
There are a couple of links below in this newsletter for items parents can order at this time. The Chisholm Spirit Wear is currently active from now through November 19. Click on this link if you would like to order some Chisholm clothing.
The order link for the 2023-24 Chisholm Yearbook is also included in this newsletter. The order deadline for purchasing a yearbook won't occur until February or March, but you can take care of this item at this time.
If you would like to pre-order pizza for Turkey Bingo on November 16, the deadline to place that order is tonight at midnight. Drinks and individually wrapped desserts will be available for purchase during the event. This is a canned food drive for a local food pantry, so we will be collecting a canned food item in return for a bingo-playing card.
The Smart Social link below which was first presented in last week's newsletter will feature different tips and information on social media apps. This tool provided to families during this school year will hopefully provide information on managing student access to social media platforms.
