Text Box: It was a BIG night! The schoolhouse doors opened at 6:30, and the families poured into the decked out building. Everyone had smiles on their faces. 
In all my years of teaching, I have never seen a better prepared school building. The teachers and children went all out to decorate for their honored guests, our parents. All of the classrooms and hallways donned the projects and papers that our children had so carefully prepared. It was great! 
Children and parents were everywhere! They looked at every inch of Lively. Their main focus was the Text Box: classrooms of the children. Everyone wanted to see the wonderful items the children had prepared. Pride covered the faces of all the parents and children. 
Another popular place to visit was the cafeteria where the specials teachers greeted all of the honored guests. Many of the students brought checklists from their teachers to check off the special stops in the building. 
It was a BIG night. The best thing about our open house is that the Lively family came together for one night. That brings smiles to many faces!                                  

Text Box: All of the students know what is expected of them at school. These are the things that we want from our students every day! 
Do your best work every day
Show your best behavior all the time
Come to school everyday and be on time
These are also the requirements for your student to attend the end of year celebrations!


                                               
Text Box: We want to celebrate our wonderful students at Lively. The plan is that the K-2 students will have a BIG party at the end of the year, and our 3-5 students will attend a field trip. We need funds to do this! Our recent cookie dough and pizza fund raiser will help us do that! Thank you for Text Box: helping out during this fund raiser to bring smiles to the faces of the students at Lively. For those who sold, they will win prizes for their effort! As bonus prizes, if they sell five items they will participate in duct taping Mr. Barnes to the wall, and if they sell 10 items they will be able to Text Box: participate in a drawing to be the principal for a day! Most of all we want to be able to give our children the opportunity to make a great school memory.
