One of the many new games that our Bobcats enjoy playing at recess is called Roller Ball!
It seems like it was just last week that we announced the Penny War Competition. It looks like a tight race between popcorn and popsicles. Tomorrow will decide who reigns victorious. Tomorrow will be the last day to put your 2 cents in on who should win. Thanks everyone!
Bickel Parent Open House – February 25th @ 6:00 PM (Bickel Cafeteria): The district will be addressing parent questions about new school zones. Staff from Morningside, Oregon Trail, and Lincoln will also be present.
Ms. Angell's first graders recently read several versions of The Little Red Hen. Then they all helped bake a cake. Everyone wanted to help, nobody said, "Not I!" Everyone helped to eat the cake, too.

We take our fire drills very seriously. "I am not scared, I am prepared" is the motto we live by. Through practice our staff & students are better prepared in case of a true emergency. Mr. TJ is always looking out for us. For our last fire drill he was the fire blocking an exit. This made us practice responding in an alternate way. Everyone did an amazing job. Just a reminder: School dismisses at 2:00 on Mondays and this Monday is Picture Day!

Doggone it, Mrs. Brewer is another year older. Her Bobcats celebrated her by wearing dog shirts, singing to her, decorating her office, providing her with goodies and love. Happy Birthday, Mrs. Brewer. Thanks for all that you do.
The results are in...Team Kindergarten read the most last week. They kicked off the Mahomes Reading Project by scoring 740 minutes of reading time. Whose class will be rewarded next with a visit from the "STAND-UP" guy, Patrick Mahomes? Keep reading and turn in those minutes.
No School!
Happy Presidents' Day! No School.

As part of our school safety plan, we have practiced barricading and evacuating the building. On February 13th at 9:15 am, we will announce an intruder is located on the playground and teachers will have to decide whether it is safest to barricade with their class or evacuate the building.
Teachers will talk to students before the drill so that students understand this is just a drill, just like we practice fire drills. We wanted parents to know in case you see several police cars. The police officers like to observe these drills and give us feedback.
