Partnership in Parenting took a field trip to the Shiloh Prairie for their October group connection. They had a beautiful day with bright blue skies to explore the many plants and bugs. The children had paper bags and duct tape bracelets to collect the treasures they found along the paths. They also used magnifying glasses to explore details up close.
Our tour guide, Mrs. Saddoris, encouraged everyone to use all their senses to learn about the prairie. Along the way, they smelled mint, felt square stems and fuzzy seeds, watched ladybugs and grasshoppers, and listened to the wind in the trees. They also discovered the recent presence of a coyote, but there was no sniffing the partly digested apples in the "scat". The PIP-Squeaks enjoyed repeating the new word they learned, though!
After the tour, Miss Julie offered beautiful gourds from the patch, and each child chose a fall book and a pumpkin to take home. Before leaving, the families gave a big shoutout to Mrs. Saddoris for making this fabulous annual opportunity available to them!
We'd like to congratulate our PreK - 8th "Students of the Week" for the first quarter. They have consistently displayed such qualities as kindness, respect, responsibility, and a strong work ethic, making them role models for their peers. We also extend our gratitude to families for their support and encouragement.
Get ready! The book fair will be here in 3 weeks. It is November 13-17.

Last fall, Partnership in Parenting received the Blue Ribbon Award from the Parents as Teachers National Center (PATNC). To earn Blue Ribbon status, PIP underwent a rigorous 16-month process which confirmed that the program was meeting PAT standards of fidelity and quality.

As announced at the recognition banquet, "Shiloh CUSD #1, Partnership in Parenting is considered an exemplary program, delivering the highest quality services to children and families.”

Families:
We are still seeing a lot of kids with symptoms of pink eye. If you notice that your child has red, irritated, or goopy eyes, please make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. DO NOT send them to school with pink eye.
Happy Principals’ Week to our principals! The National Honor Society ordered flowers, and Ms. Ennis’s Floral Design class delivered.
On Saturday, October 14, the US will be experiencing an Annular Solar Eclipse. We are not in the path of totality, but we should be able to see a partial (~50%) eclipse. The time frame is from 10:33 am to 1:23 pm with the maximum being around 11:55am. It is very important that you NOT look directly at the sun during this event (or anytime). Junior High students were sent home with a pair of Eclipse glasses so they could view the phenomenon tomorrow. Be sure to save the glasses for the Eclipse in April! They can also make a pinhole camera or watch the ground for shadows. It is supposed to be cloudy tomorrow, so looking at the ground for shadows may be the best option.

Here is a video with more information on what will be happening. It also talks about the Total Solar Eclipse that will happen on April 8.
