Who Took the First Nook?

 Our first Nook was checked out on Tuesday to this excited student while his classmates looked on. 

All students must have a Nook Checkout Contract on file before they can check out a Nook.  All fines must be paid prior to checking out a Nook as well.  Nooks may be checked out for 2 weeks. 

Getting to Know You~Mr. Althage

Meet Andrew Althage

Mr. Althage teaches 6th grade science at Truman Middle School.

He previously taught for 6 years at Windsor High School.

Andrew has his BS in Biology and BA in middle school education.

 

Mr. Althage and his wife, Molly have a 20 month old daughter named Lily.  

He likes coaching basketball, watching NCIS, watching College Basketball, and spending time with his family.

His favorite sports team is the University of North Carolina Tar Heels and basketball is his favorite sport.   I guess it's not a surprise that his favorite book is John Wooden. Buffalo Wild Wings and Pasta House are his favorite restaurants. 

 

A Turkey, a Pilgram, an Indian and a Pumpkin

Student Council sponsored a canned food drive for the month of November.  Kids brought cans and used them to vote for their favorite "team" of teachers.  The "team" of teachers with the most canned food items then had to (or got to!) dress up in Thanksgiving themed costumes.  Team 7 Gold brought over 1/4 of the total cans collected in the food drive, so they dressed out today.

Ms. Buckely was the turkey, Ms. Eckert was the indian, Ms. Kloster was a pumpkin, and Mrs. Kuehn was the pilgrim.

Awesome Artwork

Mrs. Heine's art classes have been working on many different types of projects. Take a look at some of the incredible artwork being displayed around Truman.

Cogratulations Mujo Kovacevic!

Congratulations to Truman's own Mujo Kovaceivic!  On Wednesday Mr. Kovaceivic took and passed the US Citizenship test.  There will be an official swearing in ceremony later in December but we are all celebrating for him now. 

Service in the Community

                                                

 

Two Lindbergh students who are also brothers have worked on their Eagle Scout badge by working in the community to honor our men and women who serve in the United States military.  A ceremony was held in Fenton Park on the first Saturday in November.  Along with the Eagle Scout, 2 Truman students participated in the ceremony by playing taps as well as the Concord Elementary School choir led by Mrs. Creech.
