What's Up at South Hill Elementary?

December 2009

Wesley Haskins visited the second grade classes of Karen Church and Ann Owen Friday, December 11 to demonstrate the effects of erosion on land. This topic is included in the Virginia Standards of Learning for Second Graders. Mr. Haskins works in the area of Soil and Water Conservation for the Department of Conservation and Reservation. The students really enjoyed Mr. Haskins' presentation and experienced a wonderful learning opportunity by viewing the real causes and effects of erosion.

Each Walmart store, Neighborhood Market and Sam's Club selected one school in the local  community to participate in the Teacher Rewards program.  Ten teachers at South Hill Elementary School received $100.00 reward cards from the South Hill Walmart.  The Teacher Rewards program has been developed in response to the growing need among U.S. elementary school teachers for help with supplies for their classroom. This new program is expected to help over 40,000 teachers offset out-of-pocket expenses for school supplies.

The South Hill Elementary students were treated to a surprise visit from "Puppet Love", a puppet program designed to encourage good character.  The children were introduced to a variety of puppets which taught traits such as being a good friend, being honest, how not to bully, and trying your best!  This program was funded for the school by an anonymous community member.  The staff and students would like to thank those who allowed this wonderful program to take place.  This was a great way to begin the school year by reinforcing good charater traits!
