Today elementary students are celebrating International Dot Day! Dot Day is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book "The Dot" and is focused on encouraging people all around the world to trust in their abilities and share their creativity with others.
This week at Roundup, students have read stories and discussed how things don't have to be perfect- it's ok if they're "ish" and that sometimes thinking outside the box is what gets us the most amazing results!
The students pictures celebrated today by wearing dots somewhere on their clothes!

On Wednesday, 6-12 grade students had the opportunity to listen to EF graduate Kevan Hueftle share his inspiring story.
Thank you to Kevan for sharing your time and wisdom with our students!
Homecoming Week is scheduled for the 25th - 29th! Dress up days are below, so start planning those outfits!
Please be on the lookout for our marching band as they practice (around 10:45 AM) this fall! We appreciate your patience and caution as you drive around them or give them time to get out of your way.
CHARGE Students and Mentors of the month enjoyed lunch and brownies together today!
EFPS completed a random drug search this morning with support from the Frontier County Sheriff's Office and the Nebraska State Patrol with two of their canines.
A huge thank you to these departments for helping us to ensure that our school is safe and drug free.
We are also thankful for great students and that the canines were unable to locate any substances on our campus.
We are looking forward to continued partnerships and collaborations to create the safest campus possible.
Thank you!

The kids have worked hard to put on a Hawaiian Luau bookfair for everyone to enjoy! Please come check it out and pick up a great book (or two or three!) in the process!
Families, Please discuss before and after school safety with your students prior to their return on Tuesday. A few key points that will be discussed again with students are:
🛑 utilize the crosswalk when crossing the street
🛑look for oncoming traffic before entering the crosswalk
🛑stay out of active construction sites, both in front of school and across the street
🛑drivers should STOP at the crosswalk during arrival and dismissal times
🛑do not walk through people's yards or on the street if at all possible
August/September Notes For Families:
Due to EF hosting a football game at 3:00 PM, there will be a 1:30 PM dismissal on September 22nd to ensure all students can safely leave school before game traffic begins to arrive.
On Friday, students and staff voted to elect Student Council representatives. This year our council is comprised of class elected presidents and school elected representatives. The school elected candidates all created great campaign posters!
These students have great ideas regarding how to improve our school even further this year. We're excited to see what they accomplish!
