Cardinals Committed
The Primary Building would like to thank Mr. Mack and the Cardinals Committed group from the high school who visited our lunchroom. These high school students continue to make good choices and set such an amazing example for our little people. We get so thrilled to have them visit and the connections they make with our students is long lasting. Thanks again for coming over, we look forward to your next visit!!
Martin Luther King Jr. March
Our children were fortunate to be a part of Chadron State College's annual Martin Luther King Jr. March on Monday, January 16, 2017. Our students joined with students from CSC, Job Corps, Intermediate, Middle, and High schools on a march up to the CSC Chicoine Center where Dr. David Nesheim and other organizers put on an outstanding program. We heard from our Superintendent of Schools, as well as other speakers and singers from the Middle and High Schools along with guest speakers from Colorado. We would like to thank Dr.

Shop with a Cop
Many times the work of others goes unnoticed... our Chadron Police Department deserves to be recognized for the work they do behind the scenes. Our officers have supported our schools in many ways; and one of my favorites is their Shop with a Cop program. Every year our Police Department is given a quite extensive list of names of students who may need a little extra love during the holidays. This program is funded through generous donations from staff members at Chadron Public Schools along with community members.
Reader's Theater
The Second Grade Students performed their Reader's Theater to Kindergarten Students Wednesday morning and did a wonderful job. We had a school-wide pajama day and the students were all excited to perform and listen to the plays. Mrs. Kaus and Mrs. Smith in the library have been working with the second grade classes and it was so exciting to see their hard work turn out so well.
Chadron Primary Food Drive
Chadron Primary School would like to send a HUGE thank you to all of our families that helped contribute to our Food Drive. In lieu of presents to one another, our teachers asked students to bring canned goods we could take to the local food pantry. On Tuesday we were able to deliver the food to the church. Our students were given a tour of the food pantry and able to talk to Mrs. Dagen about how many people these wonderful donations help out year round. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your donations!
Cardinals of the Month - December
Once again we had some incredible students selected as Cardinals of the Month! They continue to exhibit our Cardinal Rules and we are so proud of them! We enjoyed breakfast in the teachers' lounge before classes started Tuesday morning and we all want to congratulate the students on a job well done.
Breakfast with Mrs. Uhing
Mrs. Smith's 7th Grade Readers visit Chadron Primary
This week Mrs. Smith brought her 7th grade students to Chadron Primary so they could share some Ebooks with our Kindergarten classes. The students were quite excited about having the middle school students come read and the teachers enjoy seeing their former students excel. Thank you so very much Mrs. Smith for bringing your students over.

Cardinals of the Month - November
Once again we honored our Cardinals of the Month for November with breakfast in the teachers' lounge. We are so proud of our students and how well they follow our Cardinal Rules: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. Thank you for the continued support from families and when you see these little birds outside of the nest congratulate them on a job well done!
Lucky Primary Family
I am one of the "Lucky Ones" who truly enjoys going to work every day... I am surrounded by amazing adults and little people that help make me a better person and the world a better place. Not every day is full of unicorns and rainbows and during the holiday rush it is often easy to get caught up in the business of life; however, walking into the Primary Building today, I was reminded of how blessed we are. Every adult and child was greeted by randomly placed sticky notes left as positive affirmations.
Newest Member of the Primary Family
I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member to the Chadron Primary Family.... Seymour Goodthings. He is very excited to catch our smallest of Cardinals doing great things here in the "nest" and following our Cardinal Rules. Keep your eyes out for Seymour and continue making good choices.
Seymour had to check out Mrs. Uhing's office before making his way to another spot in the Primary Building
Kids Caring at Christmas Project
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Dawes County Courthouse Tree Decorating
Chadron Primary School students were invited to the Dawes County Courthouse to decorate the tree in the main entry way for the annual Parade of Lights. Students enjoyed the beautiful November weather as we walked to the courthouse and the children put their hand made ornaments on the tree. Students were also treated to a candy cane for the return trip to school. Thank you to the staff at the courthouse; if you are out and about here in town, please stop by the courthouse and take a look at the work of our talented students. Happy Holidays!
On the Lookout for Lego Bricks
Chadron Primary School and our Parent Involvement group is on the lookout for Lego Bricks... The group is planning a Penny Carnival set for February 17, 2017 and as a part of the games and activities we are seeking new or gently used Lego bricks. If you would like to purchase and or donate any Lego bricks you can send them with your child or drop them off at the Chadron Primary School Office. We will be accepting any Lego brick donations from now until the date of the Penny Carnival.
