Did you know that 40 million people struggled with not getting enough food last year? Of that 40 million people, 12 million of those were children. Today we challenge you to clean your plate and to not waste food. The Earth helps to provide food for your body to keep you strong and healthy. Let's encourage each other today to be thankful for the food we receive and to clean our plate so food is not wasted.

Did you know that American families spend an average of $2,200 dollars a year on their electric bill? One way to help with this cost and to help the earth at the same time is to use less lights. Today we challenge you to be responsible with your light usage. When you leave a room, do you remember to turn off the lights? Another way to help electricity usage is to encourage your parents to buy LED lights bulbs. LED lightbulbs use less electricity and also lowers your electric bill. Let’s work together to be responsible with our light usage.

To celebrate Earth week, we would like to give you a challenge everyday this week. Today, we want to challenge you to use less water each day. Did you know the average American uses between 80 to 100 gallons of water a day? You can reduce the amount of water you use by turning off the water when you brush your teeth, taking a shower instead of a bath, and turning off the water while your washing your hands. Let’s all work together to save water!

Good Morning Belle Valley! Today is Wednesday, April 17th. Wow! There are a lot of activities planned in and around our school today. Reminder to all- IAR testing is still going on for 3rd grade and Middle School. Please respect our friends as they need to focus on their tests by lowering the voice level in the hall to 0 and peace walking everywhere you travel throughout the building. I know the students taking the tests will appreciate the quiet in order to focus. Thank you for helping our friends.
Have you ever wondered how an electric car works? Would you like the chance to see one up close and in person? This Monday, April 22, 2019 at SWIC, they are hosting an Electric Car Show from 4:30 - 7:30 pm in honor of Earth Day. If you are interested, you should go to the North parking lot at SWIC right across from Walmart to talk to electric car owners, see the engine and inside of the vehicle, and possibly go on test rides. Happy Earth Day!
Next week, Belle Valley will be celebrating Earth Week! More information will be coming out soon about activities, contests, and special events!

First Grade: Alijah L. is such an amazing student. She is really sweet and a great friend to everyone in our class. She works hard on everything she does and she is very patient and helpful to her peers. I am so happy to have such a wonderful girl in my class.
Second Grade: My March POP award winner is new to Belle Valley this year. Miss Emmalin S. goes above and beyond the 3R's every single day. She helps in any way that she can, whether it's another student who needs a helping hand, or her teacher! She uses kind words and always has her work done. She has completed every assignment and has even asked for more work, which she also completes. She has done extra math strategy posters this year for her classmates, as well. Emmalin is a FANTASTIC addition to Belle Valley and I'm so proud that she's our POP winner for March.
Third Grade: Makayla H: Makayla is a great student. She tries her best and never gives up. She is polite and goes out of her way to be kind to students and staff. Makayla is always on task in class. She is always responsible, respectful, and ready to learn. I am so proud of Makayla!!!!

Elementary Classroom: My pop winner is Mikenlee B. Mikenlee has grown and matured so much since starting school in October 2018. She had not been in school until that time and was behind in both communication and general learning skills. She spoke very little and did not use sentences. She is now at or above grade level in all work. She holds complete conversations. She quickly learned classroom routines, and has improved her behavior greatly.
Please send the Pop award winners to the office. Congratulations.
Our TOP award winners are:
Ms. Boose was nominated for TOP award because she goes above and beyond for her students and co-workers here at Belle Valley. She is conscientious in her work and has redefined a team leader role. Her team thinks that she is a great resource for information and is terrific to run ideas by when problem solving. She remembers birthdays, and she is always reminding others of important dates, time, and deadlines. She is always willing to help or go the extra mile and she is definitely appreciated. Congrats Ms. Boose!
Mrs. Barker is an excellent teacher, and mentor. She goes above and beyond to keep her students engaged. She sets the bar high for second grade teachers. She is always thinking of her students and what she can do to improve their education and life here at school and at home. She helps in the lunchroom and is a positive presence for students. You can find her at ball games, trunk or treat or gliding in skates at Fun Spot on PTO nights. She makes our school a better place! Congrats Ms. Barker!

Good morning, BV! Today is Wednesday, April 3rd. Are you always asking your parents to buy you things? The next time you do, ask yourself if you really need it. Some of you have more toys than you need; instead of asking for more, think about donating some of the things you have to others who do not have much. Remember there are places that will gladly take your donations, like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or even your church. This is a great way to show the Big Idea of being responsible. Think before you ask for more and make a great day!
