Partnership with Boys & Girls Club
I am writing with great news! Our St. Joseph Public Schools' partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Benton Harbor continues this year with a return of the "Passport to Manhood" and "Smart Girls" programs that were hosted last year at E. P. Clarke. We're super excited about partnership with the Club and looking forward to a second year together. This year we're expanding the program to include students from Lincoln and Brown as well. The program runs Nov 5 - Jan 23. Sessions will meet at Clarke Elementary Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:00-6:00 p.m..

Details are in the attached flier. The program is free to club members. All students are eligible to join the Boys and Girls Club. The annual membership fee of $5 entitles a child to full club benefits. To learn more about what the Boys and Club offers, please visit their website www.bgcbh.org or call 269.926.8766.

The application for the club and registration form for the program may be turned in at our office. Space is limited so register as soon as possible. The forms are due by November 1, 2019.

Thanks for considering this special opportunity for your child!

Popcorn Day - Friday, October 25

Every month, our PTO gives out Popcorn.  It's a great day that the kids love and the smell of popping corn fills the whole building.   Because some of our students have severe food allergies, I want to make sure the ingredients are available to you.  Below are pictures of the ingredient labels.

Digital Citizenship Week This week we take time to build awareness with our students around the topic of digital citizenship. In this digital age it is more important than ever than we educate our children on the power of their digital tattoo. Please click here to visit Common Sense Media to learn more about how you can support this work at home.

Halloween - Thursday, October 31
All kids can dress up. Be mindful of costumes and especially those that require make-up. We are asking that kids are dressed up all day so simple is best.

 Picture Re-Take Day - Friday Oct. 25
Picture re-take day will be Friday, Oct. 25.  Pictures will be taken first thing in the morning and should take less than 1 hour.  If you would like your child's picture retaken, please send the original picture packet to school on the 25th.  The photography company will replace your original order with the new picture that is taken.

 Picture forms were sent home with students who were absent on our original picture day.  These students will get their pictures taken even if no pictures are being ordered so that they receive a student ID/lunch card and can be included in the yearbook.

 Pictures can still be ordered on-line at www.geskusphoto.com/fallorders and use the code: 3718MEZIJWYWLR.

 Lincoln Bear Credit Union - Grand Opening - Thursday Oct. 24

Great Lakes Great Books Program

Each year, the Michigan Reading Association selects eight books in grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, middle school, and high school to be a part of the Great Lakes Great Books awards program.  Books are nominated by community members across our state and a committee narrows the selection down to eight in each grade level group.  The eight books chosen are read by students and/or teachers throughout the fall and early winter.  All students participating then have an opportunity to vote on their top choice to win the award.

Students in grades K-3 will hear the stories either during their library times or in their classrooms.  Due to the length of the 4th and 5th grade selections, students may choose to read any of the books and will have a chance to vote if they've read at least three of the selected titles.  Those 4th and 5th grade students participating in book club this year will read two of the titles as part of their assigned reading.

This program is a great way for students to be exposed to high-quality literature and it gives kids an opportunity to express their opinions about their reading experiences. To see the books selected for each grade level group, please click the links below.  Titles and some book trailers can be viewed in each collection.
