Selmaville C.C.S.D. #10

In Family & Consumer Science, we’re learning that a needle and a budget both stretch farther than you think! From sewing on a button to making $20 last at the store, these basics build confidence. And starting in junior high matters — it gives kids the chance to practice, laugh at mistakes, and grow these skills early, so they’re ready for bigger challenges later.

Calendar Update – Early Dismissal on Tuesday, November 25

Dear Selmaville Families,

There will be a calendar change for next week.
Selmaville School will dismiss early at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25.

Please make any necessary arrangements for your child’s transportation and after-school care. Bus routes will run at the earlier dismissal time.

Thank you for your flexibility and support!

Sincerely,
Brittany Boldt
Selmaville School

There will be a three bus route for AM routes tomorrow, November 21st. We appreciate your patience and understanding if drivers are running early or behind. Have a great night!

Our students in the Gifted program made their own mini golf course challenge. They calculated angles and made it possible to get a hole- in- one with simple math! Well, it may be simple for them, but it was a challenge for some of the staff. Mrs. Boldt and Mrs. Consolino were impressed and thankful to be invited to give it a try.

We have a new attendance program. Each week the class with the highest percentage of students present for the week will recieve the traveling "Best Weekly Attendance" trophy. This week, our second grade class was the winner of 98% attendance for the week. Congratulations 2nd grade! They will be rewareded not only with the trophy for a week, but also a surprise game during breakfast one morning next week.

The kindergarteners made applesauce today! They loved helping mix and mash the apples and, of course, taste-testing the finished product

Tomorrow, Selmaville School will be celebrating World Kindness Day! We’ll be collecting monetary donations for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a local nonprofit organization that builds beds for children in need. Let’s come together as a community to show that kindness truly matters — every small act of generosity helps make a big difference. 💕

🚀💛 CAUGHT BEING YELLOW! 💛🚀

These amazing Rockets were CAUGHT BEING YELLOW — showing kindness, respect, and responsibility all around our school! 🌟 Their positive choices and teamwork help our Rocket community soar higher every day.

Let’s celebrate these shining stars for going above and beyond! 🌠

#CaughtBeingYellow #RocketPride #BeKind #Respect #Responsibility

We’re supporting Shop with a Cop — a wonderful program that gives children in our school the chance to shop with SRO Barry for gifts, clothing, and essentials. It’s a day filled with smiles, laughter, and memories that last far beyond Christmas.

If you’d like to help, donations can be made out to Selmaville School with a note that it’s for Shop with a Cop. A donation box will also be set up at the gate during all home basketball games prior to Christmas this year.

Your kindness will help bring joy to a child’s heart and show what being a Rocket truly means.

During Parent-Teacher Conferences tonight and tomorrow, our Selmaville family is hosting a Bake Sale Fundraiser to support SCHS Coach Suzanne Henry Brown. 🍪🧁

Stop by the table outside Mrs. Eastin’s classroom to grab a sweet treat — every donation goes directly to Coach Brown. Everything was baked with love, and your support means so much! 💖

Selmaville students recently had the opportunity to explore science in an exciting, hands-on way thanks to the Centralia Cultural Society’s Arts in Education program. Through their support, the Traveling Science Center made a stop at our school, bringing interactive exhibits focused on Illinois science, wildlife, and environmental awareness.

Students explored a variety of displays highlighting topics such as parasites, wildlife habitats, and the impact of human activity on the environment, including our carbon footprint. The exhibits encouraged curiosity and critical thinking while giving students the chance to engage directly with scientific concepts in a fun and memorable way.

Although the Traveling Science Center program was designed for students in grades 4–8, the organizers were kind enough to open the experience to our kindergarten through third grade classes as well. Our younger students were thrilled to have a chance to step aboard the science bus and experience the wonders of hands-on learning.

Selmaville School extends a heartfelt thank you to the Centralia Cultural Society and their Arts in Education program for making this educational opportunity possible. It was an unforgettable day of discovery that helped inspire a love of science across all grade levels.
