PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE by Kayla Bell
Dear Families -
Thank you for sharing your child with us this year. We have had a great year and our hope is that your child learned a lot, made some new friends and created wonderful memories. As our fifth graders crossed through the bridge today, students and families were full of tears and excitement at the same time. We wish our students the very best, and we extend the invitation to them to return to us in June of their Senior year to share with us which great adventure they are about to embark upon.
And as we say good-bye to our fifth graders, we get ready to welcome our new kindergarten class.

DRAGON TRADE LIBRARY
The Dragon Trade Library will be out for use again this summer! The Trade Library will be wheeled out to the back of the building (on the blacktop, under cover) during the summer months. The idea is simple: give a book to the Trade Library, and then take a book from the Trade Library. Please trade books that are appropriate for ages 3-11. The Dragon Trade Library will be out Mondays-Thursdays beginning Monday, June 25 and ending Thursday, August 23.
The Dragon hopes to see you!!
SUMMER MEAL PROGRAM
HAVE A FANTASTIC SUMMER
It’s a great time to be outside walking and biking with family and friends. Whatever active mode you choose, find routes with sidewalks and low volume and speed with crosswalks or traffic signals.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility!
Drivers, as we travel through neighborhoods, around parks, trails or community centers, slow down to 20 MPH and watch for children at all intersections.
Mark your calendar for Wednesday October 10, 2018. It’s International Walk+Roll to School Day! Let’s see how many people we can get walking and rolling (bike, scoot, skate, bus). Stay tuned for more details!
