I'm so grateful and proud! There are many thank yous I am compelled to share today-
-Thank you to Mrs. Kesler for all her work to prepare for the show with the students.
-Thank you to our specials team for their work in preparing, decorating, setting up and tearing down for the show.
-Thank you to our office staff for your organization, help, and management of the moving pieces.
-Thank you to our classroom teachers and additional teaching staff for your flexibility with schedules, support for students, and help.
-Thank you to Wagner Photography for providing pictures for our yearbook and for our Veterans and their families.
- Thank you to Mrs. Armstrong for the technical support and Facebook Live Casting.
-Thank you to our families for attending and being kind and patient through check in and check out procedures.
-Most importantly, thank you to our Veterans! Thank you for your service to our country to protect our freedoms and keep us safe. Thank you.
If you were unable to view our show on Friday, the shows are posted on our Facebook page which you can view by clicking here. The shows were absolutely amazing and the kids did a spectacular job! They are so talented and it is so sweet to watch them perform. I appreciate everyone being open to two shows. Both were completely full and I don't think that we could fit everyone into the gym in one show time if the crowd is as large as it was. Thank you for coming at your specified time to help manage the size of the audience to allow everyone to fit comfortably and be able to see their child. You were a great audience - thank you!
Please reach out at any time to share any questions, concerns, or ideas. I am here to help and support you and your family. Thanks for all you do to help keep our students and staff safe.

Book Cart Assembly
Two years ago the Robinson Community raised over $20,000 for new diverse books for the classroom libraries. Last year, the Robinson Community approved purchase of book carts so these books could be stored easily in the classroom and rotated at grade level to ensure continued access to new books. The Robinson PTO has ordered the book carts and they should be arriving in the next week or so. We need your help to assemble the carts! Please sign up to come to our assembly party at Robinson's cafeteria on November 20th from noon-4pm. We anticipate it will take approx. 20-30 minutes per cart to assemble, and we have 29 carts. Sign up here to help!
Thank you Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Bartz
