Answer: Sundae

Activities

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Please take a minute to thank your teachers for all they do for you not only in the classroom but outside of the classroom.

As we head into the final weeks of school and get excited for upcoming Field Days, we want to remind everyone of the importance of making positive choices.

Students who receive any behavior referrals during the next few weeks may have their participation in Field Day activities limited or possibly taken away.

Field Day is meant to be a fun reward for showing responsibility, respect, and positive behavior. Let’s all do our part to make good choices so everyone can enjoy the celebration!

Safety

Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.

Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
