News from the Principal
With another week of the temperature being up and down we found time during recess to play kickball, pool noodle baseball, helping spread the newly dropped bark mulch on the playground, and pool noodle drumming. Mrs. Sheridan's Grade 1 class and I practiced pool noodle drumming to Imagine Dragons, Queen, Dance Monkey, and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Once the weather is nice we will put on a recess show for the other students. As tick season is upon us we are also doing a quick tick check as we enter back into the school building. Please make sure to check your child every night as well.
Last call for all Chromebooks that were issued this school year for home use.
There will be a blood drive in Townsend to support a local student. Giving blood is a wonderful way to help! Please see the attached flyer for all the details.
