3rd grade Columbus Zoo trip

The third graders went to the Columbus Zoo on Friday, April 27th. The weather wasn't the greatest but at least it did not rain all day. There are many great animals to see there and not enough time! You can click on the PTO photo page to see all of the photos taken at the zoo.

PTO Carnival

The annual PTO Carnival was held on Friday April 20th. We are glad that so many of you came back to school to join us in the fun! We had a great turn out for the games and crafts. The obstacle course was a big hit again this year, too. Be sure to look at all the pictures by clicking on the link for PTO photo page.

We would like to say a big THANKS to all of the teachers, staff and parents who helped us this year. Our carnival couldn't be a success if all of you did not help us. Thank you, too, to all of you who donated baked goods for the cake walk. It was a big hit again this year.

There is only about a month left of school. Be sure to check back for photos of the remaining PTO sponsored events at school.

Mr. Tester teaching 3rd grade

Today Mr. Tester ventured into a third grade classroom to teach Mrs. Eley's class. Mrs. Eley's class was one of the top two "green" classes during Spirit Week. The PTO would like to thank the teachers and staff for the continued encouragement of our students to be on their best green behavior. And to Mr. Tester -- a HUGE thanks for stepping into some of the classrooms and teaching our students here at Cridersville.

Mrs. Baker's guest teacher is Mr. Tester

During Spirit Week in March, the students of Cridersville were challenged to stay on green all week. The PTO announced a contest that the top two classrooms with the highest percentage of students staying on green would be awarded with a guest teacher. Mr. Tester agreed to be the guest teacher. We would like to congratulate Mrs. Baker's and Mrs. Eley's classes for having the highest percentage of "green" students.

Mr. Tester taught class in Mrs. Baker's pre-1 classroom this morning. Mrs. Eley's third grade class will be having Mr. Tester come in and teach sometime soon. Be sure to check back for a class picture of Mr. Tester and Mrs. Eley's class.


Remember, students....be responsible, respectful and continue to do your best!

Boot Camp Day Two & Spring Parties

Wow, today was a busy day at Cridersville Elementary. We had Day Two of our Boot Camp today. The remaining Phys Ed classes were able to learn from SFC Arnett about the importance of physical fitness. Today was also the last day of school before Spring Break. Many parents, grandparents and other family came into school to lead the students in fun activities to celebrate spring. (Even though we might not recognize it today with these cold temperatures!)

The PTO would like to extend a big Hooyah! to our Army National Guardsmen who came to our school to help our students.

The PTO would also like to thank all volunteers who came and celebrated spring with the kids at Cridersville. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend.

ps. Don't forget to click on the PTO photo page link to see all of the pictures taken today. Thanks to Mrs. Green for helping me photograph the students and staff of our great school.

Boot Camp

On Monday, April 2, SFC Arnett from Team #22 of Findlay came to Cridersville School to help Mrs. Black stress the importance of physical fitness and exercise. There were three stations for the students to enjoy. As you can see from one of the videos below, the basketball one was a favorite for both students and staff. The kids learned a new word, uh yah! They were encouraged to say this when they made a shot at the football throw. Check back later in the week as Boot Camp Day will continue on Wednesday April 4 for the remaining physical education classes.
