Here is another blast from the past! Enjoy some throwback images of students over the decades enjoying Small World Days—just like they do now!

We’re getting ready for the exciting events happening in January!

We appreciate people, like Martin Luther King Jr., who think education should encourage the development of principled, critical thinkers.

A new year, and a new issue of Challenger News! The January newsletter is now available under the News and Event tab on our website.

Happy New Year from Challenger School!

As we look toward the start of a new year, we express appreciation to our caring, diligent teachers who inspire and prepare students for the future. Thank you, Challenger teachers!

Merry Christmas from Challenger School!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Enjoy some fun throwback photos of Challenger students and staff celebrating the holiday season throughout the years.

Even though school is not in session, you can still help stimulate your child’s thinking by playing games as a family over winter break. Scrabble, Pictionary, and Set are just a few examples of games that can help reinforce a love for logical thinking–all while having a bit of friendly competition and fun!

Students had a merry time with some Christmas celebrations last week! We hope students and staff enjoy their winter break, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year!

On December 7, 1941, Japanese forces attacked the U.S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, plunging our country into war. In K–G8 classes this month, we will hold a commemoration to honor those who lost their lives on that day and throughout World War II.

December can be rather chilly for some of our students—remember to bundle up!

There is a lot happening at Challenger this month! Stay in-the-know with our December newsletter, now available under the News and Event tab on our website.

Campus spelling bees for third through eighth graders begin this week. We wish all our super-speller students the best of luck in the competition!

For 60 years, Challenger has been holding Feast Days as an expression of gratitude. Here are some throwback images of Challenger students and staff celebrating Thanksgiving over the decades.

We appreciate our Challenger teachers who continually prepare, teach, lead, and inspire students. Thank you, teachers, for your diligence and excellent work!

We have much to be thankful for at Thanksgiving. Do you know the events that led to the first-ever Thanksgiving? Read Rights to Be Thankful For on our website and discover what turkey and property rights have in common.

This month, kindergartners are ready to learn skills to help with mental math—calculations that are done in the mind rather than on paper. Mental math is a skill students will develop over time as they learn how to quickly add and subtract one number from another number. As they practice, their ability to listen, focus, and concentrate will improve along with their math skills.

In Veterans Day assemblies and commemorations today, Challenger kindergarten through eighth-grade students will learn to recognize why countless American men and women have defended freedom around the world.

One fun way to help your first grader think logically is to ask him or her to create a Venn diagram for household items. For example, have your child categorize food by dinner food or dessert food. Where do they cross—or do they?

We are thankful for the many wonderful people who work together to create positive opportunities at Challenger School. Read about upcoming events in the November newsletter, found under the News and Events tab on our website.

A little Halloween fun!

Since 1963, Challenger has seamlessly blended learning and fun. Here are some throwback images of Challenger students and staff celebrating Halloween over the decades.

Help your G3–G5 child this month by helping him or her to watch for words that use the same roots as their spelling words and vocabulary concepts (as indicated on homework sheets). It’s another way you can help support your child’s learning at home.
