April Fools!
Kindergarten students learned about marshmallow bushes and it just so happened that the Waterville marshmallow bushes were ready to harvest on April 1st! Students had a blast harvesting them!
It's all blue skies in Blue Rapids
It was a great week at Blue Rapids Elementary! We continued this past week with our state assessments as all students put out an outstanding effort and showed an excellent attitude. Both the teachers/staff and the students have worked very hard to get to this point, I am excited to see the fruits of their labor. As a reminder to parents and students, the weather is getting nicer and students are walking and riding bikes to school. Please be sure to use the crosswalks and sidewalks before and after school. We have had a good year and i just want to get all the students to the summer safely.
Here are some upcoming dates to remember:
- April 7th - 3rd - 6th Grade Spring Picture/Classroom Group Picture Day
- April 18th - No School/Easter Break
- April 21st - No School/Teachers' Professional Development Day
As always, I want to thank you for the blessing that it is to work with your children. My door is always open if you have any questions or concerns.
