Principal's Notes
Sunday May 21st
Hello,
It is so hard to believe we are at the end of the school year. Thank you so much for an amazing year and your continued support. Your child’s growth and success at school would not be possible without you! We hope you have a wonderful summer with family and friends! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions over the summer!
Please read below for end of the year dates and important information!
Penny Drive:
-Thank you so much for your participation in the penny drive! We raised over $250.00 to give to the Nebraska- Make-A-Wish Foundation! We really appreciate your generosity!
End of the Year Academic and PBIS Assembly:
-We will be having an academic pep rally next week and had our final PBIS assembly today! The Elm Creek Foundation and Bauer Underground helped provide various prizes to hand out at the academic assembly. We really appreciate their support in celebrating our students! Students who showed growth and improvement, met growth goals or exceeded growth goals on both the NSCAS Growth (state assessment) and MAP Growth have received Superstar Tickets. These tickets will all be placed together at the end of the year and students will be drawn for various prizes. The prizes vary from small to large and include bubble wands, water balloons, slip n slide, and even a scooter. The students are very excited about the opportunity to win a prize from all of their hard work! We are excited to celebrate all of our accomplishments in the last week of school!
