Finally, we're back in a routine! I hope everyone enjoyed the extended vacation and the time spent with family and friends. I certainly did.
Today we began the QUEST program with presenter Julie Brown. Lions Quest assists students in developing positive social skills, self-discipline, responsibility, good judgment, and the ability to get along with others and lead healthy, drug-free lives. It also encourages family involvement. Topics included are community building, listening skills, responsible choices, conflict resolution, and refusal skills. Because this program is funded by the United Way, Clermont County Youth Services is able to provide this program at no cost to our district.

Tomorrow we will have our homeroom spelling bee. Words will be chosen from the official spelling bee website. Click here to access those words. Three students will be selected from each third and fourth grade homeroom to represent their classes in the CNE Elementary spelling bee next Thursday at 1:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to attend the bee. The winner of the bee will participate in the Greater Cincinnati Scripps Howard Spelling Bee.*Students are not required to participate in the bee; however, once a student accepts a bid as one of the top three representatives in the class I expect that student to fulfill that responsibility and participate in the school bee.
