The Snow Forecast #18

Hopefully, everyone had an amazing, relaxing time away from school!

I imagine the remaining 7 weeks of the school year will be a busy blur! There will be so many things happening each week. Information will come home by newsletter and by paper copy. Please be on the look out for correspondence from school.

NEW LIBRARIAN! 📚

Also, we have a new librarian! Welcome to Mary Snow, Katie Perkey! We are excited to have you.

AND...Thank you, Sarah Stevens for filling in!

HONOR FLIGHT 🇺🇸

Prior to vacation, students spent time in art and in class creating pictures and writing pieces for veterans from the Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan Wars. Some soldiers did not receive a heroes welcome home at the time, so they were flown to D.C. this past week. On the way back, these soldiers were given letters of appreciation and greeted at the airport by art work created by Mary Snow students. We were asked to create the art work and letters so that the soldiers would have letters to read and art work to see on the return from their honor flight.

Thank you to all the teachers that created something for this important event!

Each fall and spring we ask families to fill out a quick 5-7 minute climate survey to see what our strengths are and which areas we can continue to work on. It would be very helpful if you could complete the survey so we can know which areas to improve in so we can better help our students. Thank you for your time!

The grade 4 students did an amazing job putting on 2 concerts for families! They sang a number of songs that they practiced with Miss Bartley during music classes over the last few weeks. Ollie and Phoebe also had solos and both of them did a phenomenal job!

The afternoon before break, Mary Snow had a school wide earned PBIS celebration. Students got to choose 3 activities they wanted to visit from a whole list of items. Choices included:

yoga, champion ball in the gym, chess, paper plane making, bracelet making, cup stacking, coloring, legos, robots, card games, cribbage, spring window decorating, science, a reading room, rock painting, and outside play. Students rotated to the 3 activities they chose for approximately 30 minutes of fun!
