Principal's Message
STEM Night: We will be hosting STEM Night on March 4th from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. The event is a great chance for families to experience our STEM curriculum and explore topics of robotics and coding with kids. Our school staff really emphasize problem-solving, learning inquiry, and hands-on activities through our STEM programming. We will have an opening act for STEM night in the gym and if you can only attend this part of the event, it will be well worth your time!
Talent Show: We will host the talent show tonight, Feb 28th at 6 pm. This is a free event and fun to watch our students perform!
Family Dance: March 13th from 6 pm to 8 pm will be our Family Dance. We really love this event created and hosted by our DOGS Group (Dads of Great Students). It's free!!!
Collecting Dog and Cat Food: The K-Kids are teaming up with Mrs. White's classroom and will be collecting dog and cat food items for the River House this month. If you'd like to contribute, please send those items in with your child and we will add it to the collection!
Book Fair: We are starting to prep for our annual book fair. If you can support this event and help, please sign up using this link: https://signup.com/go/CPNJOhe
February Wellness Tip: It's important to get plenty of sleep in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Children should have limited TV/Screen time prior to bedtime. Avoid having a TV in their bedrooms for the best chance at healthy sleep patterns.
