Our Kate Goodrich LIVE TO GIVE Mindsetter of the Month is Angie Zocher! With every class that Angie has, she strives to make and keep lasting connections. Even when faced with difficulties, she has a "don't give up" attitude! Angie makes Kate Goodrich a better place! We sure are lucky!

The 2nd graders organized themselves into groups at morning recess to race each other. What a beautiful day to be outside!

Second grade students in Mr. Klapperich and Mrs. Whooley Jepson's class are studying the Westward Expansion in our Knowledge Unit. Students were given an optional homework challenge to create a covered wagon at home. Several students participated so we were able to make a wagon train from the creations! Grandparents, parents and students created some ABSOLUTELY AMAZING wagons - some created wagons out of wood, some sewed cloth bags full of flour and sugar, many had water bottles secured to their wagons and seating in the wagons! THANKS to all who participated!

Angela Lersch was our February Attitude of Gratitude Mindsetter of the Month! Angela always has the ability to look at things positively. No matter what the situation is, or if you are just talking about life, she always finds a way to "shine some light". I love her ability and choice to always see a brighter side. We are so lucky to have her here at Kate Goodrich!

Coin Collection Contest! We are having a fun all-school coin competition/collection to raise money for the T.B. Scott Free Library in Merrill during Read Across America Week!. Clean out your couches, your car seats, your cars…anywhere where you might find some hidden coins! Bring coins to school to dump in the jars for your class from Monday, March 3 thru Friday, March 7. The front lobby will be decorated to show team progress! We will be weighing the coins each day to see who has the most weight in coins. The winning group for the week will get to do something special with Mrs. Kahr! Coins collected will be counted and donated to the T.B. Scott Free Library in Merrill!
