The Bluejay
April 2020
When life gives you lemons........
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your student's teacher. We are "here" for you.
Online Book Fair
The Scholastic online book fair will start April 2 and run through April 15th. Our school will earn 25% on all purchases. All orders will ship directly to the shipping address the person provides, so family members and grandparents could order books and ship them directly to the kids.
Leader In Me
The following video, Be Where You Are, is a great reminder during these unprecedented times. Life is not normal right now, and we are all struggling to find our new normal. We have all been forced to slow down, and that might not be a bad thing in the end. Lemons=lemonade.
