Halloween is always a fun day in an elementary school. Themed lessons, pumpkin carving, costumes, parades and a full moon. Does it get any better than that?
GRM Student Council representatives meet with newly elected officers to choose leadership roles while planning for upcoming service learning projects.
Please have a look at the items on the Mackenzie Lost & Found table. If you see something that belongs to your child please contact Mrs. Gallo so she can reunite the item(s) with your child. All unclaimed items will be donated on Friday.
As election day approaches, we had our annual student council candidate speeches today at Mackenzie Elementary School. Tomorrow, on Election Day, our student body will vote who they would like to represent them on this year's student council. Our students also have the opportunity to vote what will be served for dessert on an upcoming Friday, chocolate chip cookies or chocolate pudding. Stay tuned for our election results tomorrow.
Mrs. Mohan's First Grade class completed pumpkin science investigations this week! Students made scientific predictions, observed, counted, compared, and measured during various pumpkin activities. They read the book, From Seed to Plant, by Gail Gibbons to further enhance their knowledge! Finally, they worked together to design a jack o' lantern to be displayed on the stone wall at Circle Park!
Unfortunately the GRM PTA Little Caesars' Fundraiser pickup that was scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed until Thursday.
👀 We’ve got our eyes on some SPOOKY good books!
Ghosts and spine-tingling stories have taken over the GRM library! The Halloween display invites students to pick up a creepy tale, discover a new favorite, and get into the reading spirit.
Which book would YOU dare to read? 👀

Mrs. Knight's 5th graders have been studying states of matter, properties of matter and how the Law of Conservation of Matter works. Students used their knowledge to identify different properties of items. Students made OOBLEK and discovered how it’s multiple states of matter at the same time.
🐝 Student Voice. Student Leadership. Student Impact! 💚💛
At GRM, we believe that student voice matters! We are excited to welcome students to our Leader in Me Action Teams, where they can share ideas, collaborate with others, and help make our school an even better place to learn and grow.
Here’s what our teams have been working on:
Academic Team: Brainstorming creative ways to encourage school attendance and help students make the most of every learning opportunity.
Leadership Team: Discussing upcoming school spirit days and planning ways to make our Veterans Day events meaningful and memorable.
Culture Team: Creating “Thank You for Your Service” flyers to honor our veterans and beginning to plan school-wide events for the school year.
Through these experiences, students are learning that leadership means more than taking charge—it means sharing ideas, working together, taking initiative, and making a positive difference in their school community.
When students have a voice, they become active participants in shaping their school culture. We are proud to see our student leaders putting the Leader in Me habits into action!
Together, we lead, learn, and shine!

Walking Together for Hope, Healing & Awareness
The Eldred ‘Bee The Light’ team was proud to participate in the Out of the Darkness Walk sponsored by the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) of Sullivan County and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Coming together with our community to raise awareness, show support, and help shine a light on suicide prevention and mental health.
Every step we took was a reminder that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone. We walk to honor those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and remind everyone that hope is always worth fighting for.
Thank you to everyone who walked alongside us, supported our team, donated, or simply helped spread the message. Together, we can “Bee the Light” for someone who needs it. The team raised $755 to assist AFSP in their efforts to fund research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide.
If you are struggling, there is help available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Celebrated annually on September 15, International Dot Day is a global event that encourages people of all ages to explore their creativity, courage and collaboration. Inspired by the 2003 children's book "The Dot", by Peter H. Reynolds. At Mackenzie Elementary School we challenged our students to "make their mark" by wearing dots or creating dot-inspired artwork.
Mackenzie Elementary School had their first Leader in Me Mackenzie Buzz this week.
We gathered as a school community to celebrate our young leaders. It was a great way to start our day with messages of how to be kind and responsible and be the best version of ourselves. We also got to celebrate a student who was "Caught Being a Leader". Congratulations to Elsa for being a great example of kindness for our students!

The International Day of Peace is observed annually on September 21 to strengthen the ideals of peace and promote non-violence. At Mackenzie Elementary School we celebrate annually with our Pinwheels for Peace Parade. Students decorate colorful pinwheels with messages of peace and hope and kindness in their classrooms and then the entire student body parades around our campus and ends by “planting” our pinwheels around our school grounds.
