A Note from the Principal
To say that February flew by is an understatement. We can't believe it is already March and will soon be Spring Break. It was so much fun to see how excited all of our students got on Valentine's Day. They could hardly contain their energy throughout the day while waiting for their various classroom celebrations. These are the experiences that make lasting memories.
The Kids Heart Challenge was also an awesome experience. Not only were we able to raise money for a worthy cause, but we were also able to education our youth about how important it is to keep a healthy heart and the various ways they can do that. The culminating event, which had all of our students jumping rope in a variety of ways to fun music was a sight to see!
These next three weeks in March are busy as well, beginning with our Read Across America week. We can't wait to see our students participate in the "dress up days" that the student council organized for the week.
Believe it or not, Spring Break marks the half way point of the second semester, already. Please be checking your child's Infinite Campus grade book to keep updated on your child's progress and academic scores. Reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns. Progress reports will be sent home the Friday before Spring Break to any students considered to be "at risk" learners at that time. If you learn that your child is at risk, please reach out to find out how you might be able to help your child be successful the rest of the school year.
Sincerely,
Ms. Harman and Mrs. O'Brien
