Kelso C-7 School District

📣Weekly Spotlight 📣 The first several pics showcase our "PAW"sitive Office Referrals this week! Almost all of the students wanted a picture with Fozzie! Two sweet girls did as well, but Fozzie thought they were there to play, so we had to take one without them! Next, we are proud to show off the new neck bandana for Fozzie that these sweet brothers brought to me last week! Their grandmother made them for Fozzie to show his Falcon pride while he's at "work"!!! Finally, how about our AH-MAZ-ING Kelso C-7 Pep Club! They have made our home games so much fun and are definitely bringing the spirit! Happy Tuesday, Falcons!

Here's the week ahead for our Falcons: it looks like there is a good chance of rain throughout the week; it might be helpful for students to bring their rain jackets or something with a hood during dismissal. Thank you! Let's get ready to make a great week!

🐾Fozzie Friday - Week 5🐾 First and foremost, a tremendous THANK YOU to Jana and Randy Jennings for Fozzie's first present: two beautiful Kelso C-7 neck bandanas! I had to fight back tears when I came into my office and saw them waiting for him. Our community, school board, staff, and students have graciously accepted sweet Fozzie as part of our school and I am so thankful for that. He has been doing amazing things with students and he brings such a happy and calm (and sometimes funny) presence into our days. The kids love to see him and he is quite popular! You can't be around Fozzie and be unhappy💙💛 Thank you again to the Jennings family for your generosity and for your caring hearts. Kelso C-7 is what it is because of the love our families give to our district. Additionally....We had A LOT of requests from our "Paw"sitive Office Referrals this week to take a picture with Fozzie. I will share all of those on Tuesday on our "Spotlight" Day. Thank you to ALL the families who made Grandparents Day a success today. We love you all so much. 🐾💙 Have a fabulous Friday, Falcons!

A special Thankful Thursday..... 8th Grade Parents' Night: A Tradition That Lives On 🏆💙 Tuesday was one of those nights that tug at your heartstrings—the annual 8th Grade Parents' Night. It’s more than just a game; it’s a tradition that connects generations, from the current team to the alumni who return to where it all began. Looking around, one saw proud parents and families cheering with the same enthusiasm as they did years ago. The joy, the nervous energy, the sense of pride—those feelings never change. It was also incredibly special to see so many alumni return, some with families of their own. Our traditions run deep. From the special team chants to the moment the 8th graders walk out with their parents, hand in hand. There’s something about seeing those proud smiles, a little teary-eyed but filled with love, that reminds you of how much this community means. Sports have a way of bringing us together—parents, students, alumni—and reminding us that we’re all part of something bigger than ourselves. For every athlete out there, tonight was a celebration of hard work, sacrifice, and the unwavering support of family. 🙌❤️ To all the parents, past and present, thank you for being there through the wins and losses, the practices, and the late-night games. And to the alumni, it’s because of you that these traditions feel so rich and timeless. We’re standing on your shoulders, and the legacy you’ve built is alive and well. Here's to the memories made and to many more years of keeping this beautiful tradition alive. Thank you, Kelso C-7 Family 🏅💙 #ThankYou #ThankfulThursday

📣What's Happening Wednesday📣 Using Fozzie to remind every one of our 📚BOOK FAIR📚! Fozzie loves to be read to, it puts him right to sleep 💤. Also a reminder of Grandparent's Day on Friday! Please call the office if you have questions about your time slot. Have a great day, Falcons!

📸Weekly Spotlight📸 This Falcon received a Positive Office Referral today and wanted to take a picture with Fozzie to celebrate!🐾

The Board of Education will have their regular meeting Wednesday, September 18th, at 6:00 pm in the District Library area. As always, all are welcome and invited to attend.

Another exciting week for our Falcons! Here's the line-up: Let's make it an amazing week Kelso C-7 Family!

Grandparents Day 2024!! We are less than a week away from one of our favorite days of the year-Grandparents Day! Notes were sent home Friday with each family's assigned time to visit the classrooms, drop by the book fair, and pick up some yummy snacks while spending time with our special Falcons. Until then...we will be here counting down the hours until we will see all of our Grandparents.

Good Afternoon! In case of rain today, be prepared to transition to a wet weather dismissal. If it is precipitating at all, we will hold the car rider students in the main hallway, and begin taking them out one at a time depending upon the location of your car. We try to do the first 4 to 6 vehicles that are parked the closest in line to the school. Once those students are in cars, you may drive away, and at that point, the next group of cars behind them may pull forward. We will repeat the process until all cars have gone through and all students are picked up. On rainy days, or days they are calling for rain, please remember to send your child with a hooded jacket. We do our best to protect them from the elements, and have even been in moments where it wasn't raining when the bell rang, but by the time the last group of students came outside, it began to pour. This can potentially delay the length of time needed for pickup, so we appreciate your grace and patience. If you have any questions, please call the school.

🐾Fozzie Friday - Week 4🐾 Mrs. Hahn's Kindergarten class did a "PAW"-some job this week when Fozzie and Mrs Lands came to visit! This week, Miss F spent the week with Mrs. Hahn's class! Mrs. Hahn arranged for Mrs. Lands to come read an "F" book to her class that was full of flowers, foxes, fat frogs, fences, and fir trees. The kids loved that Fozzie fit right in this week with their lessons! Great Job, Kindergarten! Fozzie is so proud of you!🐾

This week at Kelso C-7, we are showcasing one of our brand new construction rooms that is currently being utilized as our combo Art/Music class taught by Mr Jenkins! Mr. Jenkins is a creative teacher and is making great use of his space! Whether they are working on an Art project, or singing/dancing in Music, he is very thankful to have a classroom that is dedicated to Fine Arts.

🐾Fozzie Friday - Week 3🐾 Fozzie was TUCKERED OUT this week! He visited all of the classrooms and we explained how his puppy body is adapting to coming to school. The students all related to this since they were also tired as they have adjusted to a new school year. Fozzie is a favorite amongst our adults and he is doing a wonderful job of sitting when they approach him. Fozzie gets a LOT of love each day and extra treats. The students got to all pet him this week, if they chose to, and it was absolutely wonderful. Fozzie even sat with a student who got hurt at recess. 🐾This fella loves his school family🐾

This Thankful Thursday we are thankful for....GRANDPARENTS! Grandparents play such a special and important role in our students' lives. Life wouldn't be quite as sweet without this amazing group of people. We are excited to invite and welcome back all of our grandparents on September 20th to celebrate each and every one of them! Invites and RSVPs will be coming home in backpacks tomorrow (Friday, 9/6) and are due back to your child's teacher by Wednesday, September 11. We look forward to seeing our grandparents soon!

It's Fozzie Friday! Week 2: Fozzie visited all the classrooms! 🐾. Mrs. Lands talked to each class about his commands, what he has been learning, and how students are expected to act near Fozzie. The students were WONDERFUL with him and very respectful. Next week, classes will get a chance to pet Fozzie in small groups or pairs, with Mrs Lands keeping him (and the students) secure. He has had a very fun week of walking the halls, showing off how smart he is by doing his commands, smelling the yummy kitchen smells, delivering sodas to our staff, meeting all the kids, and taking naps between classroom visits. It's a "ruff" life at Kelso C-7🐾
