|  |  | The Federal Trade Commission with other agencies has produced a cyber safety booklet for parents and teachers, Net Cetera: Chatting with Kids About Being Online. "Net Cetera tells parents and teachers what they need to know to talk to kids about issues like cyberbullying, sexting, mobile phone safety, and protecting the family computer. Talking to kids about these topics can help them avoid behaving rudely online; steer clear of inappropriate content like pornography, violence, or hate speech; and protect themselves from contact with bullies, predators, hackers, and scammers."

 | | | Spelling Bee Winners |  |
|  |  | The word for our Sandburg Spelling Bee on Wednesday was SPORTSMANSHIP. Our participants this year were incredible as they not only spelled well, but rooted for others who were spelling. This built a special atmosphere of camaraderie among the spellers. Our winners for the Sandburg Spelling Bee are: Riley N., 1st place; Bella H., 2nd-; Lauren F., 3rd place; and Briana M. in 4th place. Riley will represent Sandburg in the LPS District Bee. Our other top spellers were: Abby H., Erik B., Madeleine K., Allison M., Grace P., Sydney M., Drake S., Cole Q., and Bella S. The other place winners will compete against other top spellers in grades 4-8 district-wide in a written competition to possibly earn a place with Riley and other winners on the stage for the LPS District Spelling Bee on Feb. 10th at Powell Middle School’s Cafetorium. |  | | | |  |

 | | | Shaddow Play Performances |  |
|  |  | During the last week before winter break, three classes performed in Sandburg's first ever "shadow plays". The students in Ms. Moriarty's, Mrs. Kearns' and Mrs. James' classes worked very hard to make this debut theatre show a success! This musical play was based on the story, "The First Music" by Dylan Pritchett. The story is based in the African forest, and every student played many parts in bringing the story to life. In a shadow play, there are many techniques that are used to tell the story: puppets, "live action", story tellers, and sound effects. All of this action was done behind a white screen which was mounted to the stage doors. The students worked very hard, and had a great time putting the show on for students, teachers and family members. A big THANK YOU goes out to Theresa Greichen, Dawn Wesselman and other parents that helped create the fantastic murals and beautiful velvet curtain that made the shadow theatre look so professional!

The Sandburg Spirit Singers (click link for photos), made up of 70 students, performed their holiday concert on December 9th for a packed gymnasium. The group sang many songs, including, “Sing We Now of Christmas,” “Shalom Chaverim,” and “A Cold In My Nose.” The choir was joined by Irish step dancer Sammy Walker and Arapahoe freshman, Melissa Merkel, playing the flute. Another violin soloist was Sandburg 5th grader William Peters. The concert was so much fun, and the choir sang incredibly well.  | | | PBS Super School Newscast |  |
|  |  | On Wednesday morning, November 18, nine fifth grade students from Sandburg traveled to the Rocky Mountain PBS television station in downtown Denver to tape the Sandburg Elementary School edition of Super School News. Kyle K., Julia K., Briana M., Peter S., Erik B., Sydney M., Natalie S., Tate F., and Christian S. wrote the news scripts and decided upon the props and photos to accompany their stories. The students spent recess and lunch times to practice. Thank you to Tate F. for designing our banner.
