March Students of the Month!
Thoughts from the Principal!
Happy April to you all!
We are in the final stages of another great year at Felicity! This part of the year opens up the opportunity to show of the hard work of your students and staff! State testing will begin the second week of April and go through the beginning of May. Please be sure to get these dates on your calendar. Having your kiddo here these days is critical for their overall performance on these assessments. Of course these days can be stressful, so please be sure to build up your kiddos and instill their confidence that their hard work all year now gets to be showcased through these assessments. Please be sure to ensure a good night of sleep, a full breakfast, a charged Chromebook, and maybe even some encouraging notes. Your teachers are sure to build up our students as well as offer extra incentives for their hard work.
It is a great time to also celebrate the hard work and continue to make memories. You will see that there are many field trips on the calendar as well!! A huge thank you to PTO for their dedication and generosity for these awesome experiences for kiddos! We are also looking forward to the traditional Field Day on 5/21 and K graduation on 5/15/25.
Have an amazing April!

Attendance Reminders!
Buddy Cards for Sale!
The Elementary Office is selling Buddy Cards for $20. These are great for gifts and the busy nights where one doesn't feel like cooking!! Proceeds will be going to supporting our staff and student incentive funds. (Flyers went home last week! - Please send money in an envelope to the office with $20!) Thanks so much for your support!
The competition is over, but we still have cards for sale if anyone would like to purchase!
A huge thank you to all who participated!
Box Top for Education
We would appreciate your support with box tops. These are everything they used to be, but now we scan our receipts instead of cutting our fingers with the cardboard!
