Council Grove Elementary School

Please join us for a very special Rise & Shine Assembly on Thursday, April 10 at 8:30 AM. During this time, we will be honoring the memory of a beloved student who attended Council Grove for Kindergarten and 1st grade. She courageously battled cancer and sadly passed away over the summer. To celebrate her life and the kindness she brought to our school, we will be dedicating a new Buddy Bench placed under the canopy on the playground. This bench will serve as a reminder to always be kind, reach out to others, and be a friend. This bench has been purchased through a fundraising effort in our school. During the assembly, we will share a special Buddy Bench story, explain how the bench will be used to support friendship and inclusion, and share a few beautiful pictures and the new bench. We hope you’ll join us as we honor one of our students' memory and encourage all of our Thunderbirds to be Thunderbird Strong through acts of kindness.
