The Elementary PTO is wrapping up this year's Spell a Thon. They have had the assemblies at both North and West, celebrating the accomplishments of all of our Elementary Students. The kids did an AWESOME job spelling the words on their lists!
Here are the results from the event:
West:
Best Class: Mrs. Vanderlinden's Kindergarten class spelled 99% of the words correctly
West met their school goal. They spelled 4452 words right out of a possible 4917 (90%). They were rewarded with Extra Recess, Ice Cream, and they got to give Mr. Montgomery a pie in the face at their assembly yesterday!
West had 147 Perfect Spellers! The perfect spellers received a certificate signed by the principal, their photo on the bulletin board, and their names in the Journal Express.
Northstar:
Best Class (2-3): Mrs. Helle's 2nd grade class with 88%
Best Class (4-5): Mrs. Kincaid's 5th grade class with 94%
Northstar got close to their school goal by spelling 18,307 words correctly out of 21,374 (86%). They will also receive an ice cream social on Friday.
Northstar had 121 Perfect Spellers! They also receive a certificate signed by the principal, photo on the bulletin board, and their names in the Journal Express.
As of today, the Spell a Thon brought in $13,092 for our Elementary Schools! Money is still being collected, and we will post the final results as they are available. That money will go to each elementary school to help cover the costs of field trips and their playground equipment needs.
The Knoxville Elementary PTO would like to thank everyone who helped make this a huge success! Parents, grandparents, family members, and community members for supporting the kids by pledging them. Most of all - all of the kids who worked so hard on their lists! Way to go Panthers!
