Friday Focus
March 7th, 2014
News and Notes from around our campus!
With a spirited gusto of the best effort, each grade level team competed yesterday during our staff meeting. With the music from The Newlywed Game and the voice of Bob Ewbanks resounding in the backdrop, our First Grade team claimed the top prize of "How Well Do You Know Your Teammate!". They will each be receiving gift cards today. Thanks to each of our representatives for playing. The home, board game edition, will be dispersed to each of you. :)

Our district team did a good job working on e-learning day 2. We will be giving this to everyone in the district soon in order to give you plenty of time to work on day 3 with your grade level team. For day 3 you will be creating a Padlet wall and putting on content as an PVE grade level team. Stephanie and Jodi B. are available to help with activities. Please have these walls created by March 24 so that they can be reviewed and fixed during the week. Our goal is to get them all finished before spring break so they are ready to go home on April 7th and we can relax over the break. We have many experts who have already created an e-day Padlet and they can help with technical aspects as well as content.
