Finishing Strong

This is our last full week before the insanity of the final week of school comes with trips, field day, parties, and more!  The best thing we can do as educators is to finish strong and utilize every minute we have before us.  We still have lessons to teach and gaps to fill.  With the students that we work with, we don't have the luxury of resting on our laurels.

So let's challenge our students, push their thinking, try new ideas, and do something awesome with our kids!

5th Grade Car Wash

Thank you to all of those who came out to support our 5th Graders.  And BIG shout out to Ms. Boyd and Ms. Sipp who not only gave rides to students to be able to come but also who stayed the entire 4 hours to help with the car wash!  Thank you to Mr. Marvel and Mrs. Martin who showed up to help work shifts as well! We had 47 fifth graders show up, washed over 40 cars, and earned a total of $725!

Moreland and Delic

Moreland will be here to talk with teams on Monday and Delic will be here to talk with teams on Thursday! For Moreland's meetings you don't need anything, but for Delic you will need your data from the year and be ready to talk successes and growth!

Aladdin Play

Our kids (and Haliburton and McHale) have been working tirelessly on this play! I hope you all plan to join one of the two FREE performances as our students and staff try a new endeavor!
