Pullman Elementary Board Report
April 2025
Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
Paraprofessional Appreciation Day was on April 2nd. We are grateful for the dedication, hard work, and support our paraprofessionals provide each day. Pullman Elementary would not be the same without their invaluable contributions to our school community.
Attendance Challenge
Mrs. Harris' 3rd grade class won the Attendance Challenge. Her class had the highest attendance percentage for the month of March. They celebrated with a fun pizza party, generously provided by Deputy Garcia. These students know when you aren't at school, you miss out!
Lego Club
Our Lego Club presented their underwater creations to their parents. Thank you, Mrs. DeVries and Ms. Hill for all the work you do for our students.
Chain Reaction Machines
Mrs. Tuinstra's 4th grade class had a blast designing chain reaction machines! These hands-on projects helped students explore how energy is stored, released and transferred.
