Lyman Elementary
May 2023
Note From Mr. McPhee
Dear Lyman Families,
Spring has finally arrived at Lyman Elementary! We ended the month of April studying the character trait of “perseverance” and I must say we did a good job of working hard and never giving up here at school. This is such an important character trait for students to develop in their lives. Perseverance is a lifelong skill we want every child to acquire before they leave Lyman. During the month of May we will focus on “empathy” as our next character trait.
The month of May is a busy time. We're in the full swing of Smarter Balanced testing. I appreciate the effort that every child is putting forth to do their best and the work that our staff has done to prepare each child to be successful on these important statewide assessments. We created a test schedule that focuses on classroom learning by breaking the testing down into shorter, more manageable sessions.
May 1 through May 5 is National School Nurse week, National Music week and National Physical Education week. I appreciate the work that our nurse Kami Smith, our music teacher Kerri Kincaid and our PE teacher Michele Kloke does for our school. They keep us healthy, safe and excited to learn every day.
May 8 through the 12 is teacher appreciation week. Please join me in celebrating our teachers for all of their hard work and dedication to the craft of teaching and learning! We have an outstanding teaching staff! We should be very proud of the work that they do every day for our children.
We have moved our Lyman Parent Group meeting to May 16 this month. Please come out and see what you can do to contribute to our school and our students through the generous work of the LPG! We will meet in the library at 6:00pm.
Thank you for all your support in helping to make Lyman Elementary a great school! It all starts with our great community!
Sincerely,
Scott A, McPhee
