Weekly Update

We have finished our 3rd 9 weeks and we are on the last leg of the school year. Crazy to think how fast this year has gone. Spring will be in the air, children will be able to play outside longer after school and that means baseball season will be upon us which is my favorite season!

When we get back from Spring Break it will be very busy for all students. 5th graders will be starting their Star Base field trips which is always a great experience, track season will be starting which is a fun opportunity for all middle school students, State Assessments will also be starting and we will be wrapping up final preparations for students to be successful and do their best on these tests.

I appreciate all of the snacks/candy/gum that has been donated for state assessments. Right now we are good on gum but could use a lot more individual snacks (fruit snacks, granola bars, goldfish etc.) and small candies (jolly ranchers, smarties, tootsie rolls etc. )

If you are able to donate some please have your student bring them to school when we return from Spring Break.

Thanks!
