Football Team Day!

On Friday, September 12th was Football Team Day ! Students and staff wore their favorite football t-shirt or jersey. The office is definitely Packer territory. Miss Sally and Mrs. Peterson are serious Packer fans, but throughout the building there is definite mix of Lions and Packer fans.
There are even some Chicago Bear fans at Sawyer Elementary!

First School Assembly

On Friday, September 5th the students and staff at K.I. Sawyer Elementary gathered together in the school cafeteria to kickoff the new school year! Mrs. Wommer and Mrs. Burbey led the students in singing at the start of the assembly. Then Mrs. Peterson introduced the Sawyer staff and new students. The school reviewed the behavior expectations and the students’ incentives for following ROARS (We are Respectful of others, Orderly at all times, have a positive Attitude and we are Successful when we ROAR!). The fifth grade classes were recognized for being the most orderly and respectful during the first week of school and received an ice cream party after the assembly. Mrs. Miilu’s class was the first class to return all their student forms and received ROARS pencils and a small prize from the ROARS awards. Lastly, one student from each class was called up to the front of the cafeteria. Students engaged in a Staff Trivia Game and received a ROARS band for participating in the game. Overall it was fun to get the entire school together and have a positive start to the new school year!
