Spreading Kindness in Our Community! 💛 As part of a recent tribe activity at Robertsville Elementary, each student was assigned a special person to write a note of gratitude and encouragement. These heartfelt messages, filled with kind words and appreciation, were then delivered to various departments throughout our community — along with some fresh cookies to share!
Our students had a wonderful time presenting these sweet surprises to our town’s everyday heroes, including Firefighters, EMTs, MVR-III Central Office Staff & Maintenance teams, USPS workers, Dollar General employees, PTO members, Franklin County police department, and Nursing Home. It was so much fun to create these notes and spread a little kindness throughout our community. We're proud of our students for taking the time to lift others up and show appreciation. 💌🍪 #KindnessMatters #StudentLeaders #MVNation

Robertsville Elementary students had to persevere and work together in front of the whole school to find their own balloon. This activity became a powerful symbol of our community core values. The balloons represented HAPPINESS, and students learned it's much harder to find if everyone is only looking out for themselves. If we care for other people's happiness, we'll find ours, too! #MVNation

Families-
Backpack Program Information:
I am sending home the Backpack Program Parent/Guardian Form for the new school year in this week’s Thursday Folders.
This program is provided by Gray Summit United Methodist Church and helps support students by providing food for the weekends.
Please review the information, complete the form if you are interested, and return the signed form to school by Tuesday, September 2.
Thank you!
Attendance is important, whether it is Summer School or during the school year. Congratulations to our week 4 winner: Emma Harrison!

A huge Thank you to the Pacific Fire Department for bringing water fun to the students at Nike and Robertsville! The students enjoyed cooling off and eating popsicles.






On Thursday, June 26, we will have a special visit from the firetruck for water play at school! Students should come in their regular clothes and wear shoes that can get wet—water shoes or Velcro-type sandals work best. Students will not be allowed to play barefoot.
If students would like to wear a swimsuit, please be sure it is worn under clothing or a swim shirt and shorts that fully cover the suit.
Please have parents send a towel, a grocery bag, and a full change of dry clothes. After water play, students will dry off, change, and bring their wet clothes home in the bag.
Sunscreen must be applied at home before school—we will not be applying sunscreen at school.
