🐾Fozzie Friday🐾 What a fun week Fozzie had! First, he celebrated his birthday BIG TIME last week! Kaylee and Ava brought him some fun and adorable presents! THANK YOU! Fozzie also got a new harness, leash, and collar in Kelso C-7 Blue💙 Next,Fozzie had a checkup at Cape Small Animal Clinic, where he got "signed off" to be an official therapy dog!! All that is left is for him to complete two assessments! Last, he got to visit with some classes this week! Students have been great at remembering to pet him on his back and on the side. It is important to give him some space so he knows that he is "working". All in all, it was a "paw"-some week!🐾
#ThankfulThursday
We are filled with gratitude for the incredible strength and compassion of our students. 💙 In times of loss, it's not easy to navigate grief, but seeing how you come together to lift one another up has been truly inspiring. 🤝
From a kind word to a shoulder to lean on, your support for one another reminds us that we are never alone, even in the hardest of times. We are proud of these Falcons and thankful for their hearts. Let's continue to be there for each other, holding space for healing, love, and light. 🌟

🛑 Important Reminder for Our School Community 🛑
Dear Parents & Guardians,
We understand that sometimes students forget important items at school. 📖 If your child ever forgets something and needs to come back for it, please know that we’re so proud of them for recognizing the importance of their learning. On the same note, for the safety and security of our students and staff, we kindly ask that you avoid returning to campus /classrooms for any forgotten items after 4:30 PM.
This small change helps us maintain a smooth, safe end to the school evening, ensuring that all of our after school activities remain safe and secure.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our school safe and secure! 💙🏫
Warmly,
Kelso C-7 School

🐾Fozzie Friday - Week 7🐾 🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 Wow! What a celebration we have today! As we celebrate Fozzie turning ONE today, he also shares a birthday with our School Board President, Mrs. Liz Glastetter! We felt it was only appropriate to recognize them both today! We are so thankful for everything our school board does for us and their incredible vision for our district. Part of that vision included voting YES on a school therapy dog. THANK YOU to our board for allowing Fozzie to be here. He has already made a positive impact on our students! Fozzie also had some special goodies this week! Sweet Averie and her mom brought Fozzie his very own school bag to keep all of his bandanas, toys, and treats in, and it has been so helpful! THANK YOU! Finally, since their birthdays fall on October 4, Mrs LeShae gave me the perfect phrase to say about remembering their special day: "10-4 Good Buddy", and that is how I will always call this day from now on. 10-4 to all of our good buddies on this extra special, birthday edition of Fozzie Friday🐾

🌟 Happy School Custodian Day! 🌟
Today, we celebrate Mr. Ted and Mr. Jeff, who keep our school clean and safe. THANK YOU to our amazing team for your hard work, dedication, and the care you put into our learning environment. You make a difference every day and we are so thankful to have you at Kelso C-7!
Here's the week ahead for our Falcons:
Kelso C-7 School District is excited to announce the addition of the Early Identification System (EIS) Teacher Checklist and Student Survey to promote students’ social and emotional health.
In addition, our school will be participating in a research project called “Evidence-Informed Mental Health Prevention, Assessment, Collaboration, and Treatment in Middle Schools” (E-IMPACTS). E-IMPACTS will evaluate how early identification systems may support student social, emotional, and academic performance in schools, providing countless resources for our team.
In a matter of 10-15 minutes, the EIS Student Survey asks about students’ experiences with peers, their emotions and social behavior in the past month. This information is used to select interventions that build positive peer and adult relationships, effective problem-solving, social skills and successful coping strategies for students. The Teacher Checklist asks teachers to rate their observations of students in their classroom and with their peers. From here, our team can use the data to collaborate on how to support that student while at school.
More information is coming home with students to our families this week! We can't wait to see the positive impact this project will have!

🐾Fozzie Friday - Week 6🐾 Fozzie had a fabulous week at school! He got to visit a lot of classrooms, even if it was just to deliver a message to the teachers. Fozzie LOVES arrival time! He gets so excited to see the kids coming to school! Thursday was his favorite arrival day so far because he was greeted with THREE new neck bandanas, and one matching headband for Mom (aka Mrs. Lands) to wear! Ella's family made these beautiful new accessories for Fozzie and we are so proud of them! Thank you, Ella! Dismissal is also fun because all of his friends tell him "bye!" or "I love you, Fozzie!". It's a sweet way to end each day! Last, next Friday is Fozzie's First Birthday!!!! This is a big milestone for him as he can officially "take his test" and become a certified therapy dog🐾 We hope you all have a great weekend!
There is no school tomorrow for our students while our team is learning and growing during an in-service day.
A huge THANK YOU to Southern Bank for generously providing lunch to our amazing teachers during tomorrow's in-service! Your kindness and support help keep our team energized and motivated as we prepare for the school year ahead. 💪📚
We are so lucky to be part of a community that values education and shows appreciation for our hardworking staff. Thank you for making a difference! ❤️ #Grateful #CommunitySupport #ThankYou #TeachersRock #InServiceDay
📣What's Happening Wednesday📣
Our middle school Social Studies students made Vegemite spread and butter with Mrs. Hale this week!
Mrs. Hahn's Kindergarten class was visited by Miss H this week who got a new "h"airdo! They also worked on "more" & "less" in Math!
Finally, our school has been working with SEMO's RPDC on a program called DCI (District Continuous Improvement). If your students come home today and said they had a few extra adults in the room, that is why! They were here today doing classroom observations and walkthroughs with Mrs. Lands.
We are so thankful for our teachers and all they do to make our school a great place to learn!💙
