Dear Sullivan Families,

Each trimester, we plan a special activity to celebrate our students working to meet our schoolwide expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible. Today our school community spent the afternoon together in the gym for our first trimester celebration. We enjoyed watching Beauty and the Beast in anticipation of the March performance of our school musical. Many of our students have never seen the 1991 Disney classic, and it was so much fun to see their reactions to the movie! Kids were definitely more excited about the musical after watching the movie this afternoon. Auditions for the musical are in December, and more information is included below.

As we celebrate this year's Thanksgiving, I would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to our families. Our staff is thankful for your support and for the strong partnership we have built together. District 23 has always been committed to providing the best education possible to our students, and we know that we could not achieve this without your trust and involvement. We hope that the upcoming holiday season brings you joy and peace, and that you are able to spend it surrounded by family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving from our Sullivan family to yours!

Sullivan Snapshots

Ms. Hartman's class was all smiles for Kindness Day on Monday. Our Sullivan Ambassadors partnered with the Ross Ambassadors and recorded videos for our announcements, as well as planned a choice board of activities that students could complete with their classmates to spread kindness around the school.

Ms. Peterson's class made some delicious Thanksgiving treats to share with our office staff. Needless to say, they were gobbled up in an instant!

Ms. Ferber's 5th-grade students were hard at work this week in ELA centers. The students worked on creative writing independently and opinion writing in small groups, in addition to editing practice and independent reading.

Ms. Slowik's 4th-grade students were hard at work this week in math! They learned about multidigit multiplication and spent time in centers practicing and applying their skills.
