Announcements

• Thank you to our families and our PTA.  Because of your support, the PTA raised more than $10,000 through the Sprout fundraiser.  All of this money goes to support programs at Dixie for your children.  The children also enjoyed all of the wellness activities offered by Sprout including: an obstacle course, Dance Blue, golf, and meditation to name a few.   I am sure your children were as tired as I was after this fun-filled day yesterday!  If your child collected donations, please be on the lookout for an email regarding when prizes will be awarded and the date of the pajama/hat day.   

• Congratulations to our Students of the Month.  These students were chosen for being polite.  Students honored were: K- Jameson Williams, Krishya Cole, Gabriella Fields, and Maxwell Willoughby; 1st – David Reynolds, Nicole Endicott, King El Amin and Anna Mashaka; 2nd – Ruby Conkwright, Maxwell McLaughlin, Charlotte Pham and Bailey Wagner; 3rd- Noah Dawson, Angelie Sastre Peres, Emily Cervantes and ZaJeffreon Thompson; 4th Jacori Brooks, Logan Willhoite, Chloe Fortin and Zach Rainwater; 5th- J’Kobi Glass, Laquis Taylor and Mya Gilmore.  We are proud of these students and will celebrate with lunch with the Principal.  

• Please be sure to get your children to school on time.  We are beginning to see tardies add up for some of our students.  It is important that they are in the classroom by 7:45 at the latest.  Thank you so much for your attention to this.

New Staff Spotlight

This week I would like to highlight the new Instructional Assistant in our 2nd grade classroom, Jennifer Williams.  Jennifer lives in Georgetown with her husband Jeremy and 11 year old son Elijah.  She has two dogs lightning and Preston.  She worked as a kindergarten aide for six years before coming to Dixie.  She is very excited to be a part of the Dixie team.  Jennifer has already proven to be a positive and wonderful addition to our Dixie staff.  Please welcome Jennifer when you see her.   

Senator Thomas Visits Dixie Elementary

On February 12th, Senator Thomas met with the 5th grade class at Dixie Elementary.  Upon entering he was greeted by four OMAC (Operation Making a Change) members and was escorted to the library where he spoke to the classes.  During this time, he shared his personal educational journey, which included attending Bryan Station High School, Dartmouth College, and Harvard Law School.  Students researched Senator Thomas’ life and were well prepared for the Q and A session that ensued.  Senator Thomas encouraged Dixie students to take full advantage of their education and reminded them to not let obstacles stand in their way, sharing, “There’s no such thing as good luck.  Luck equals preparation, plus opportunity.”  Dixie students were also invited to the State House to be a Page in his office during this legislative session.  His visit to Dixie concluded with a student lead tour of the building and him leaving the students two books, one about Kentucky facts, and the other The Legislative Process.
