Cartmell Announcements:
Midterm Progress Reports will go home on Monday,
Sept.19th.
Please check your child's Monday folder for it.
.............................
Cartmell is doing a collaborative project with the public library. We have both
purchased several copies of the Kentucky Bluegrass Award (KBA) books. If a student
reads two books from either the picture book nominees (K-2) or the chapter book
nominees (3-5) they will be invited to a popcorn voting party at Cartmell at the end of
March to vote for their favorite book.
Students will only be able to check out only one KBA book at a time from
the Cartmell library.
There is a great big lighted display of the books in the Cartmell library.
The public library has done a display also.
My goal is that every student at Cartmell is able to vote and attend the popcorn voting
party!
Thanks,
Mrs. Hill

PANTHER PARTY!!!!!!!
Cartmell's 1st Panther Party (formerly the Reward Event)
will be held on Friday, September 30th. Students will be
able to participate in a wide variety of games
and activities, including a dance. Students may bring a
few extra dollars to purchase
pizza, popcorn, and drinks.
The Panther Parties will be used as a positive reward
system. Students will soon be earning SCHOLAR
DOLLARS daily for a variety of things (turning in
homework, being at school on time, no strikes, not
receiving a bus write-up, etc...). They will then be
required to spend their Scholar Dollars to participate in
activities at future Panther Parties.
The 1st Panther
Party that will require Scholar Dollars will be on October
31st.

Each child will
