Mr. Posick's Friday email

The kids got back to learning quickly!
After Spring Break, one never knows what will happen when our students return. As I walked through the building on Tuesday, I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. The students got right back into the school routine, and it was because of the expectations and procedures our teachers have in place. I saw students reading, writing, answering math problems, learning about the binary system, singing, playing their instruments, learning about rugby and golf, creating in art, and preparing for BizTown. It was a great day, and the learning continued right through the rest of the week. But we couldn't do this without your support, so thank you! It is much appreciated.

Wednesday assemblies
One Wednesday a month, I have the honor of meeting with all of the students for an assembly. I speak to them about a variety of things like expectations and character development. We celebrate things once in while, too. Below is a link to the presentation I shared with the students at the assembly on Wednesday.
