Shout Outs!
Thank you to the PE Staff for being so flexible with our Boosterthon team and leadership and character lessons! We appreciate you!
Patti C. thank you for being Tina Fritz's rock during this time. We appreciate you arranging for your sister to sub, making it a seamless transition for Tina and her students she adores. Most importantly, we thank you for helping to be the liaison from the Farm to let Tina know how much we love her!
Thank you to Anne Y. for being so open to changing up your library lessons to support K & 1! We can only make the best instructional decisions for our students when we collaborate. Thank you to everyone for open dialogue about what is best for our students when teaching them to read!
United Way Fundraiser
We are so proud of our students, they surpassed their goal by pledging $1447.09 to United Way. Mrs. Breaux and Mrs. Porter were “slimed” by the 1st grade students who contributed the most money. The teachers and staff pledged $2037.00 to the United Way which was short of our goal yet still a huge donation to a worthy group. Thank you to everyone that contributed in some way and especially to the teachers and staff that encouraged their students to slime the administration!
What I want my administrators to know...
