Message from the Principal
As we begin our final quarter of the 2018-2019 school year, we move into testing season. We begin AzMerit testing on Wednesday, April 4th for grades 3rd - 6th. This test is used to evaluate school progress towards helping all students meet rigorous state standards.
April's pledge skill is Be Honest. Honesty is more than just telling the truth; it's about LIVING your truth! If you're doing something you don't like just to impress others, you're not being honest with yourself. When you do what makes you happy, you'll find yourself heading in the right direction and being proud of who you are!
"Be honest in your life, it creates positive energy." Fathima Bibi Joosab
With temperatures beginning to rise, we would like to remind you to be sure to send your child to school with a water bottle daily.

Egg STEM Project
This week in Kindergarten we started our chicken life cycle unit. In Ms. Smith’s class, they had an opportunity to create a nest for a real egg. The student’s teamed up with Mrs. Fox’s 5th grade class to create the ”best nest” using self-engineered blue prints of nests and material lists! To test the STEM project Mrs. Graham climbed over 20 feet to the rooftop in order to test the nest success. Did the egg scramble or survive? 20 out of 26 survived the roof top toss. What great Engineers!
