Books can take your imagination anywhere it wants to go!!  The Mt. Loafer faculty and PTO want the students to understand the value of daily reading.

It's school time again! You may have been feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over.  Some kids feel nervous or a little scared returning to school because there is a lot of "new" in starting a new school year.  New teacher, new friends, new shoes, new notebooks, and sometimes, a new school.  Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while.

Our first school/community event is the PTA Fall Festival held on Monday, September 17th from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm.   This will be a fun family night!  The PTA will be pre-selling punch passes at a discounted cost of $7 per pass at the Open House.  The pass will include a meal, snacks, the bounce house, and the fun booths themed around Dr. Seuss books.   The passes will be $8 at the door.

Loafer Elementary 2012-2013 School Community Council (SCC)?  The SCC serves as an advisory council to the school administration.  The SCC consists of parents, employees and the principal.  They meet monthly for one hour and addresses issues that include Trust Lands Planning, Building Needs Assessments, School Improvement Plans, Character Education Plans, Staff Development Plans, etc.

Congratulations to the Mt. Loafer 6th graders.  I imagine you are excited at graduating from elementary school, a little scared of going to jr. high, sad about saying good-bye to some friends and teachers, and anticipating an eventful summer.

In your life may you have people who will listen and spend time with you, encourage you and believe in you.  May you embrace growth and excellence, may you be generous, may you say thank you often.  May you go forth and do wonderful things. 

Mt. Loafer students participated in the final Club Day for the 2011-2012 school year during the last week of school. The theme was Countries and Cultures. 

The students and faculty at Mt. Loafer Elementary would like to thank Mr. George Brinkerhoff.  Mr. Brinkerhoff was a special guest at the Ken Garff Assembly.  He has written several children's books and donated a copy of his latest book, Plum, to the Mt. Loafer library.  Some of the illustrations were done by children at Mount Loafer and some of the characters are people that he has worked with at the school.
