MARCH MADNESS KICKS OFF ON FRIDAY, MARCH 1st
On Friday, we will be kicking off "MARCH MADNESS". Every spring, we pick a book to read together as a school. Rather than choosing one specific text for "One Book One School", we are having a competition between 16 books to find the title that our students like the best. Social emotional learning skills such as: impulsivity, making friends, bullying, inclusivity, empathy, kindness, problem solving, and growth mindset will be focused on throughout the month as we study each text. We are excited about spending the month of March on this project.
KINDERGARTEN SCREENING AND REGISTRATION
Please spread the word.
Kindergarten screening and registration will take place on April 22nd and 23rd. These dates include the Monday and Tuesday after April vacation. There will be no PK or Kindergarten classes during these two days.

PANTHER PRIDE FAMILY DAY
WRAPPING UP THE KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
Thank you Somerset Elementary School for a very successful year of the Kids Heart Challenge! Our goal was to raise $1500 for the American Heart Association, but we exceeded that and raised $2240!! That's amazing! You are truly Heart Heroes.
Students who have earned Thank You gifts such as t-shirts, balls, and jump ropes, will have those given to them as soon as the order arrives from the American Heart Association. I would anticipate by the end of March. Thank you for your patience.
