Happy Holidays from the Cavalier School Staff!

Helping Over the Holidays!

The Cavalier School students and staff collected money to help the Murray family cover some of their expenses they have experienced due to a fire that destroyed their home.  The Cavalier PTO also gave a donation to the family.  The family was very appreciative for all that the students and staff have done for them at this time of need.

Cavalier School Staff Makes Donation

The Cavalier School staff decided to fore go the Christmas presents for each other this year and instead each member made a donation to the Pembina County Food Pantry and School Supply Voucher Program.  The money was collected last week and Ms. Greenwood, representing the Cavalier staff, presented the donation to Bonnie Deraas.  It is the time for holiday giving!

Elementary Christmas Concert Tonight

Please come to the Elementary Christmas Concert tonight at 7PM in the Cavalier School Gym.  Students in grades K-6 will be performing.  Some talented students will be playing piano a few minutes before the program begins so be sure to come early and get a good seat for the evening's festivities!
See you there!

New Technology

We returned back from the TIES Conference late Tuesday night.  It was a wonderful conference full of great new ideas of ways to incorporate technology into the classroom.  I attended several sessions dealing with the use of Ipads in the classroom.  In one Minnesota school they are piloting a "paperless classroom".  All students have ipads and they do their work from them.  They are able to access all their reading materials off the web so they do not even have to use a textbook.  Very interesting.

TIES Conference in Minneapolis

We are off to a technology conference in Minneapolis, Mrs. Urluab, Mrs. Gruenberg, Mrs. Furstenau, and me.  It is a four day conference filled with wonderful new technology classes to help us learn and bring back information about the latest educational technology practices we can use in our school.  I am looking forward to learning a lot of new things!

Baby It's COLD Outside!

Time for students to be bundled up!  Students have outdoor recess everyday unless there is a dangerous windchill.  So please be sure to have your students wear hat, scarf, jacket, snowpants, boots, and gloves everyday!  It would even be beneficial if they had an extra set of hat and gloves to keep in their lockers incase they misplace one.

The students pictured below are great examples of how you should be dressed for outside recess.
