Week of April 29 - May 3

The weather for our zoo trip was great and the students had an amazing adventure walking around, seeing all the animals! We even saw a few of the baby animals that were recently born. Hopefully, your child came home and shared with you his/her experience. 

The students did an awesome job on their Spring MAP testing last week! They have worked really hard and it showed on the test. EACH student increased their score with some just missing their Spring goal. We still have our DRA test to complete by the end of the year. Those will be done during the next couple of weeks.

Thursday, May 2, we will have Family Health Night from 6:00-7:15pm. We will start in the multi-purpose room at 6:00pm with our kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders singing for us. We will have several fitness stations you can visit. Healthy snacks will be available and we will end the night with door prizes. Please dress in comfortable clothes, bring your family and come join the fun! See you there!

We will have our last First Friday breakfast on Friday, May 3rd. We will also have a Mother's Day Jewelry sale that morning. Each item is $5.00. Bring your cash to make a purchase after the breakfast.

Join us Friday evening, May 3, 2019 as we fight for a cure at Relay for Life. Click here for more information about the event.
