VETERAN'S DAY CEREMONY

Coebourn is thrilled to celebrate Veterans Day on November 11 with a special ceremony honoring those who have served. Students have invited their relatives who are veterans to join us for this meaningful event. The ceremony, led by our students, will feature patriotic songs by our chorus and recognize each veteran in attendance. All students will participate, making it a memorable day of gratitude and respect for our nation's heroes.

Fifth-grade student Charlotte Reeder proudly presented her essay, What a Veteran Means to Me, sharing her thoughtful reflections on the significance of veterans in our lives at the Brookhaven Borough Veteran's Day Ceremony on Thursday, November 8, 2024.

LEADER IN ME


The Leader in Me Program is taught in the Guidance Classroom for grades K-5. One of the 7 habits is Be Proactive. Ms. Kirchdoerfer created a fun lesson using baking soda and vinegar to explain proactive and reactive emotions for kindergarten and first grade!


*Proactive emotions are when you stay calm, think before reacting, and handle your feelings in a way that prevents to "explosion".


*Reactive emotions are when you let your feelings take over like a volcano suddenly erupting without warning.


Being proactive with your feelings helps you stay in control!

  3. PLAN Have every member of the group sketch out their own design for solving the problem 
  4. Have each group choose what to build
