Revenue Purpose Statement

I want to remind our Borlaug community about the presentation by Superintendent Murley on the new Revenue Purpose Statement. The presentation is scheduled for December 11^th at 7:30 pm at Borlaug Elementary in our multi-purpose room. This presentation will discuss the need for a new Revenue Purpose Statement and how it will benefit all of our students. All parents are invited to attend.  Information is also available at iowacityschools.org.

Thank you,

“Minute to Win It!” Celebration

I want to thank our Borlaug Positive Behavior Supports & Intervention (PBIS) Team who created an outstanding school-wide reward, “Minute to Win It!”

On Tuesday, November 20^th,  Borlaug Elementary celebrated reaching 15,000 tickets for being respectful, responsible, and safe.  The creative teaching staff brainstormed a hilarious hour of fun.   We presented our very first and very own version of “Minute to Win It!”   Each grade level had students chosen to play out a challenge in front of the entire Borlaug community.   The Borlaug students and staff cheered on the participants, creating an environment of positive sportsmanship. It was great to see so many parents join us in celebrating our PBIS accomplishment as well!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Celeste Shoppa, Principal

This is Principal Shoppa with a few reminders.  Our Borlaug Student Council is sponsoring Stuffed Animal Day, which is this Friday, November 16^th. Your student may choose to bring a stuff animal to share in a day at Borlaug.  Please be sure the stuffed animal is no larger than what can fit in a backpack.

On Tuesday, November 20^th Borlaug Elementary will celebrate reaching 15,000 tickets for being respectful, responsible, and safe.  The creative teaching staff has brainstormed an hilarious afternoon of fun.   We present to you, our very first and very own version of “Minute to Win It!”   Each grade level will have students chosen to play out a challenge in front of the entire Borlaug community.   Feel free to join us on Tuesday, November 20, at 2 pm in the gymnasium.   It might be fun to have a parent or two join in the festivities!! 

One last reminder is that next week only a two day week due to Thanksgiving break starting on Wednesday, November 21^st.
