The Sock Hop Dance was a blast! Kids and adults loved dancing and singing to their favorite songs from a live DJ! They had food, glow sticks, and a photo booth for additional entertainment! Thanks to the Rock and Dziobecki families for getting everything organized! Fun times!
In Family this week, students have been working with Osmos Jam, Snap Circuits and Be Internet Awesome! It is great to focus on different technology features they don't normally get to do regularly.
Bill Kerwood visited the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at All City on April 11th to show off some magic tricks and learn about recycling. He used humor, tricks, and puppets to deliver his message about what kids can recycle and the reasons why it's important! Thanks for coming to visit Bill! We learned a lot and always enjoy your visit!! We are still wondering how you did some of those tricks?!? 🤔
Every week the third and kindergarteners meet for reading buddy time! It was so nice out today so they took advantage of the outdoor classroom to enjoy a good book!
Congrats to our High Fliers!! Way to be safe, responsible, and respectful!!
April swimming was lots of fun! We love swimming at Embe!
Science Club got to learn about robots today! They even got to battle with them and use a remote to control its' movements! How cool!!!
Here are the High Flyers for this past week! We are proud of you!! Thanks for working hard!
Students learned about the solar eclipse during Family last week and they were all very excited to
watch it on Monday! Unfortunately, it was very cloudy during our viewing party so we were only able to catch a very small glimpse of it. They still had fun making memories and wearing their protective glasses.
The March Madness Reading Challenge in Miss Leloux's 3rd grade class was a slam dunk success! Students were divided into 8 teams of 3 and then put in a bracket to face different challengers during the 3 week competition. Thanks to the students for their hard work and extra reading at home! The top three students each read over 2,500 minutes each. The winners and top readers earned prizes and the class had a celebration party. Way to go!
The inaugural ACE/Holy Spirit Elementary Chess Tournament is in the books! Congratulations to all our competitors and a special thanks to all our parents who came out to support! The final score of the tournament was Holy Spirit: 21.5 and ACE: 8.5.
We are so proud of all our Chess Club students. They have grown and developed so much as chess players and as young people over the year. Both schools agreed we should do the inter-school chess tournament again next year, so we look forward to another great opportunity next spring!
This brings Chess Club to a close for this school year. We look forward to another great experience next school year! ♟️♟️♟️
Big thank you to our chess master, Dave, and our parent volunteer who runs Chess Club, Anthony Pizer, for their time and dedication!
Happy National School Librarian Day! Thank you to Krystine Reavis for all you do for our students at Jane Addams as our librarian. Thank you also to Kristi Weiland for her help during library as well!

Happy Paraprofessionals Day! We appreciate all that you do to help our students and teachers! You rock!!
Students earned a Gum Day for earning enough tickets as a school in March!! You all "blew" us away with how hard you worked! They all loved it!
Safety Patrol is an after school service the 4th and 5th graders rotate and provide to help with pick up. They do an excellent job keeping the flow of traffic moving and getting kids into cars safely. The third graders are now getting the opportunity to be trained by them so they can help next year. Thanks to Mrs. Gray and Miss Nelson for checking in on safety patrol roles and to parent volunteer, Brandon Riss, for organizing the schedule every week. Thanks to parents for being flexible in picking up their child on patrol a little later after school as well.
