Can't Believe It's Over

Well I can't hardly believe it's over!!  I think this phrase applies to lots of things in my life--the Centennial, the 5K, the 1st 9wks, the hot weather, softball, and baseball.  A quick note on each:  The Centennial was GREAT.  The Chamber did an awesome job putting all of that together.  The 5k had a super turn-out and was a success, I think.  It was a lot of work and I am glad it's over!!  (LOL)  The 1st 9wks has flown by.  Some kids did not get their book reports done and are taking zeros as a result.  I think when they see their final grade, they will regret that choice.  So very glad it has cooled off and we received some rain.  I love FALL!!!! And finally, again, congrats to both our softball and baseball teams--Class B State Runner's Up.  Super Job!!  They have set the bar high for basketball!!  All of these things were good, but are over.  So I'm putting them behind me, and I'm moving on.  So ready and excited for FALL BREAK!!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!

Man!!!  What a fast week!!  So much is going on getting ready for the Centennial that I can barely catch my breathe!!  Lots of fun activities, so check them out on Saturday.
Monday, Oct. 17th is the last day for book reports for all 3 classes.  They must give me two oral book reports and take the AR test for each.  BR grade goes down twice, so it's 3 zeros per book report if the student doesn't get it done!  Journals, DOL's, and WOS's are due Monday also for the different classes.  Check with your child and see if those assignments pertain to them. 
Today was a catch up day with the 7th and 6th grade.  The 8th grade had an assignment over "Barbara Frietchie" p.166=literature questions due tomorrow.



State Runner's Up in Both!!!!

A huge congratulations to our softball and baseball teams.  Both ended up making it to the finals of their respective state tournaments and were State Runner's Up.  We are very proud of both teams' efforts and appreciate all of the hard work they each put forth this season.

 Leedey is proud of you!!!

This week is all about the Centennial.  Our great lil' town is turning 100 years old and we have a huge celebration this Friday here at school.  Did someone mention ice cream??!!!  Ask Mrs. Smith for more details.  The Chamber has worked very hard to plan lots of interesting activities for the town on Saturday, October 15th during this stellar event.  Come check out the parade, free BBQ, car show, beard contest, or bid on your favorite fireman for labor purposes.  It all sounds FUN!!!  And it is still not to late to register online for the 5k run/walk or the 1 mile fun run/walk.  Go to www.leedey5krun.com for more info.
Book Fair is going on all this week.  Check it out--way cool stuff!!

Three Day Week!

Get Ready For State! Everybody seems to be in a good mood this week, but why not be when we only have a three-day week! We'll send the HS girls off on Wednesday and spread our team spirit at STATE! The end of the first nine weeks will be here in no-time so make sure to GET THOSE BOOK REPORTS DONE! One thing that is always on everyone's minds is how close we are getting the 100 year celebration. 205 people have registered for the 5k run/walk and the 1 mile fun run/walk. October is finally here and everyone is excited for the Halloween dance and the little kids are just as eager to get those sparkly costumes on and get as much candy as they can. I can't believe Halloween is almost here! I cant wait to hand out candy to  little kids who don't even care if their costume is too itchy or their shoes hurt their feet, I mean after all they are there for the candy!
Only thirty % chance of rain on Wednesday night, but since we are so far behind on rain we will be happy with any chance. The cool weather is about to arrive, so get ready to get those coats out (FINALLY!). Girls get your whacky costumes out and get ready to cheer, cheer, cheer for our HS girls! Until then have a fantastic rest of the week! :)

Back Around To Monday...

After a short busy weekend, the week (so far) has started out good. School is out for the state baseball and softball games Thursday and Friday so go to Okc and support both teams.  We are hoping to get a victory in both sports!  Go Big Leedey Green!!!!
As of a couple of days ago, October has come which means basketball, dances, Halloween, the Leedey Centennial and 5k run/walk, and best of all, COOL WEATHER . Yet we still have had no rain :( .
