| Ty is this week's Student of the Week. He has a dad, mom, and no brothers or sisters. Some of his favorite things are the color blue, dogs, pizza, Lego Star Wars books, soccer, gym, and iPads. He is a star because he has A LOT of legos, he gives big hugs, and is funny. Three things you may not know about him are that he is a very fast runner, he reads everyday (YEAH), and he is really good at math. When he grows up, he wants to be a cop and be able to help people. Congratulations, Ty! |

| Dominic, Jacob, and Brody came for Prowler Pride on Friday. They are talking about all the things that they LOVE about football. Don't they look happy!!! Mr. Attig must be very PROUD of his Prowler team. GO PROWLERS... |
 |
| This is Zeb (the Quarterback), Andrew, and Grant are sharing special things about football and their life at LHS. They did an AWESOME job for Prowler Pride this week. We loved them!!! GO PROWLERS... Good Luck at sections! P.S. Andrew (#33) was a 3rd grade student in Mrs. Helling's class... |
 |
| The students are reading Charlotte's Web together as a class, adding "Book Club" type discussions and learning about character, setting, and plot. They will write a letter in their Writer's Notebook during this experience and watch a movie of it at the end, comparing a book to a movie setting. The students each follow along in their own book while Ms. Osmundson is reading to them. They LOVE the story so far... |
 |
| The Prowler Girls Swim Team captains came for a visit last Friday for Prowler Pride. They did an AWESOME job with the students and taught them a lot! We hope to have some third graders wanting to be swimmers someday! Thanks for coming to Challenger. GO PROWLERS... |

| Oh, my gosh!!!! |
 |
| We played Lap Sit this morning for our greeting. Each student starts out on a chair and has to follow instructions from Mrs. Helling for this game. If she says, "Move 4 steps clockwise if you are wearing blue," then you may end up sitting on someone's lap. As you can see, we had some overloaded laps for a bit. It was a great game that made us laugh a lot!!! |
