Title I Newsletter 3/22/24 Building a Bridge to the Future
Ms. Mercedes Message 3/22/24
We have a quick update on our school Greenhouse. We have plants! We have soil! The best of all is that we have helpful little hands. Check out pictures of Ms. Shambryās 1st-grade class weeding the inside during Health class with Ms. Epting. Once we have it all set up, we will invite the community for a ribbon-cutting event!
Thank you to all those families who participated in our Candyland-themed Math and Literacy night. Our humble little school was transformed into the gameboard with a Peppermint forest, Lollipop Woods, and more. We had over 300 people join us last night! It was wonderful to see students excited for all the fun Math and Literacy activities. Thank you to our Instructional coaches Ms. Hannah and Ms. Wentlent for your vision. Thank you to our creative, hard-working staff. Finally, a special shout-out to our PTO for donating two bicycles for our raffle and all the candy!
More learning fun to come: Check it out!
On Friday, March 29th, students will engage in math carnival games throughout the school day. If you would be interested in volunteering, contact the school. Thank you and have a great weekend!
