Administrivia
Week of 6-3-19
10 Days to Go!
Welcome to June!! We have finally found warmer weather and the final countdown to the end of the 2018-2019 school year. What a year it has been! Last week was so crazy, you didn't receive an Administrivia!
This week, M-STEP is officially OVER!! We still have NWEA testing throughout this week, so keep those laptops plugged in and ready to go.
We also have Field Day this week on Thursday. That is a very busy day! Thank you to Mrs. Phelan and Mrs. Crum for organizing this year. They will both have substitutes for their classes that day so they can run Field Day without covering their assigned classes.
Our Morgan Nature Center trails expanded over the weekend, as another 30 yards of mulch was spread and further repairs were made to the trails and bridge. It is open for visits and the main office has the key to get in. You can enter by the SAM suite entrance and walk all the way past the soccer field. Please take care on the bridges and walkways as you visit.
Have a great week!
