Dear PK8 Families,
Congratulations: Shout out to our 8th grade girls B volleyball team for winning 1st place in the Gold Tournament. Way to go Miners!!! This is the final week of fall sports. We are so proud of the hard work from our cross country, volleyball, and football athletes.
Get outdoors and connecting:This week included two great field trips for 7th grade and Kindergarten. Unfortunately, our 4th grade trip was cancelled due to weather, but we are looking forward to more opportunities in the future. Connecting students with one another, out communities, experiences and nature are core to learning at Paonia K8. This week we look forward to 6th grade attending the annual Cottonwood Days at Pleasure Park. All of our K-6 students will attend the ballet in Grand Junction on Friday, before connecting with the 7th and 8th grade students in Hotchkiss to watch the Homecoming Parade and celebrate our incredible North Fork Schools.
Washington DC: There are spots open for any 6-8 grade student who did not sign up for the Washington DC/Williamsburg Trip this spring (after school is out). Please talk with Mrs. Hebert or Dr. Savory if you are interested and would like to get signed up. Scholarships are available.
Parent Teacher Conferences: We look forward to seeing everyone during conferences. The partnership between school, home, and the students is one of the most important aspects in children's success as learners. We appreciate your ongoing support to your child's learning and growth. During conferences we will also be hosting the annual book fair, so please stop by the library.
Strong Roots, Soaring Eagles! 🦅
