A Note from Mrs. Diee
It was Wellness Wednesday on 3/20! The students and staff enjoyed various activities planned for our mental and physical health! We even had our students lead us in meditation and yoga! We ended the school day with school-wide Gratitude Nature Walk! The teachers participated in wellness activities this afternoon.
School will be closed on Friday, March 29th for Good Friday. Report Cards for the second trimester will be available on Genesis on March 28th.
You might have noticed the new Gaga Ball Pit located on the playground. We were so excited to share this new addition with the students! Gaga Ball is a popular recess game for our students. Mr. Draney reviewed the rules with each class and took them outside for a demonstration game.
There will be a PTO Meeting on April 4th at 7:30pm in the Lyncrest library. The PTO will need a vote to update the bylaws.
Have a great weekend!
