Spelling Bee

Mr. Grammens held a spelling bee for 4th and 5th graders at Ashley Elementary on October 30th. Around 50 students competed in 7 rounds of spelling with a first place, second place and third place given. The winner was a 4th grade student from Mr. Grammens class. A great job was done by all.

Walk to School

We had our annual Walk to School day on October 1st. In spite of the chilly weather, we still had 214 students, parents and teachers walk from the New Baltimore City Park to Ashley Elementary. Some of the staff and students also decorated their shoes. A good time was had by all! For some more pictures click on the picture.

Book Fair

Our fall book fair was held 9/29 through l0/3 and was put on by the Ashley PTG. A visit was made to each classroom by George of the Jungle before the book fair started. The children and adults enjoyed him immensely. One of the goals of the bookfair was to put more books into the hands of the students and on the shelves of the classroom libraries. This was accomplished by having the program "One for Books". Each classroom was challenged to raise money for "One for Books" by having students donate $1 or more. The classroom with the most donations, earned $50 in free books for their classroom. All of the money collected goes directly to purchasing books for our Family Book Club, the library and our classroom libraries. The winning classroom was Mrs. Sheridan's 5th grade class, raising $93 and second place was Mrs. Morisette's 3rd grade class, raising $56. GREAT JOB!!!
Nelson the Animal Guy also made an appearance for the book fair family fun night held on October 2nd from 6 - 8 pm. Approximately, 550 people attended to view the animals and attend the book fair. The highlight of the night was the huge boa constrictor. We would like to give a special thank you to Mrs. Pam Smith and Mrs. Abby Bridges who did a wonderful job of running this year's book fair.
