Students in Ms. Freeman's second grade class at Scottsburg Elementary have been learning about Citizenship. They have been learning how to identify the benefits and responsibilities of being a United States Citizen. The students learned about the Pledge of Allegiance and that the flag stands for the United States and reminds us to be good citizens by being kind, fair, and helpful to others. When the Pledge of Allegiance is recited, the students gained an understanding about how they are promising to take care of their country and treat everyone with respect. The flag also helps us to remember what it means to be part of a community and a nation.

Back to School Bash at Scottsburg Elementary

The faculty and staff at Scottsburg Elementary would like to thank Mr. Matthew Robinson for constructing and donating the "Bench Buddy" to their school. The "Bench Buddy" was made by Mr. Robinson to help students show kindness to others and make students feel included. Being in a new class and unfamiliar surroundings can become overwhelming for children at times. The "Bench Buddy" gives that student a moment to acknowledge those feelings, but also have others join them so they know they are not alone. While at school, if a student is sitting on the bench alone, classmates should recognize that student, go join them, and invite them to play. The bench is a way for others to reach out, show kindness, and help others. It also encourages and helps students to make new friends.
