Attendance
During the month of November, we set an attendance goal of 95% or higher. We ended so close to our goal with a 94% attendance rate.
December will have the same goal of a 95% attendance rate. Stay tuned for some possible fun incentives!
Remember, our day at Schurz is filled with learning opportunities for our students. It is important for them to be at school each and every day!

Student Council Holiday Shoppe
This year we are excited to announce that we will be once again having a Holiday Store!
Students from grades Kindergarten through 5th grade will have the opportunity to shop for their parents, siblings, and/or grandparents. This will give the children the opportunity to pick out their own inexpensive, yet quality gifts, during school hours. Gift wrapping is also available for 50 cents per gift. The store will be open on Thursday, December 15th from 8:15 AM to 3:00 PM in the gymnasium. This is such a wonderful event that many students look forward to!
We are asking for volunteers to help with this event.
We are in need of gift wrappers and a couple of volunteers to set up the afternoon of Wednesday, December 14th to help make this process go smoothly. If you would like to help, even if it is just for a few hours, please contact the office. Just a reminder that a Volunteer Background Check Application needs to be completed yearly in order to serve as a volunteer. (The background check can take up to 2 weeks to process, so please turn in your application right away.)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Many hands make light work!

What is a Veteran Assembly
Schurz students attended the What Is A Veteran assembly on November 10th. Thank you to the American Legion Post 189 who helped us to understand what a veteran is and taught us about a flag-folding ceremony. Afterward, 4th & 5th graders helped with a service project of folding pocket flags that will be sent to service members during the holidays.
