March 2011

Thanks to the efforts of long time first grade teacher, Mrs. Judie Nielsen, on March 2nd, Sage Creek Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday in grand style!   Students and teachers alike wore crazy hats all day to pay homage to The Cat in the Hat, one of Suess's most famous books.  There was a hat parade for all students and a kazoo concert performed by the teachers at an assembly.   The student council put on a fun skit and students participated in a read-a-thon throughout the day.  Dr. Seuss will always be alive at Sage Creek.!

At Sage Creek Elementary, classes are taught weekly the following Character Education skills:  how to show appreciation, accept responsibility, and make good choices.  These students have been chosen to be the Determined Dragons for the month of February because they have made our school a better place by using their Character Education skills.  They are:
