SPRING PTO AUCTION!!!
The PTO Spring Dinner and Auction was held Friday, April 1, 2016 at Cottonwood Elementary. Janis and I served up the fiesta dinner for the last time together. She will be dearly missed. Her final PTO Experience of eating lunch at McDonald's with a friend was auctioned off for over $600!
Focus on Student Leadership
Several teachers are attending The Leader in Me conference in Manhattan on April 6 and several more are attending a Leadership Day at Maize Elementary on April 28. Next year, we plan to place an emphasis on soft skills and student leadership. We are hoping to get implementation ideas from these two events.
Parent Education Series
Sunflower Staff have created several parent education videos that are featured each month. Last month Accelerated Reader (AR) was featured. This month the focus is on McGraw Hill Connect.
