Ms. Schmeltzer’s kindergarten students at Aurora Elementary School have been hard at work writing their name and letters in shaving cream. The students have been learning the letters and their sounds through a program called Orton Gillingham. The students had to listen carefully for the sound given, repeat it back, and then write the correct letter in the shaving cream. The students enjoyed getting to practice their name and letters in a unique way. Having fun while learning is a win-win for both the students and the teacher!

Students in Mrs. Bartholomew’s class at Aurora Elementary School are learning how to be leaders through the Leader in Me program. This week’s lesson focused on being proactive and taking charge of your mindset. Students learned the power of the word “yet.” For example, instead of saying, "I can't do it," they learned to say, "I can't do it yet!" Students also practiced cheering for each other using positive phrases while playing a game of toss.

Aurora Elementary School participated in the Relay for Life walk, hosted by the American Cancer Society. This walk helps to raise money to detect, treat, and prevent cancer. The opening ceremony included a survivor lap, where AES student Cyndi Strzyenski celebrated her successful battle against cancer with a victory lap accompanied by school nurse, Laurie Mumfrey. Thank you to all SDCSC members, friends, and family who participated and donated to this event!
