It is so hard to believe next week is the last week of school! Starting our year was very difficult with closing down classrooms, not having volunteers on campus and all the other rules and regulations we followed. In February and March we finally transitioned to not having to close down classrooms for COVID and then finally having Masks not being mandatory. We also slowly moved to getting volunteers back in our classrooms and on campus!

With all this being said, it has been a long haul and we have almost made it through!!!

This week was chock full of fun with first grade reading buddies, fourth grade gold rush, second grade STEAM day, Fifth grade Zoo trip, and third grade Wax Museum!!!

Next week there will tons of fun things happening on campus too, so please don't miss out read this entire newsletter!

If I don't see you next week at our events have a safe and fun summer, I hope to see you next fall!

Sincerely,

Principal Kelly
