Trailblazer Times
Happy Friday Trailblazer Families!
Our staff wishes you a Happy Easter weekend! We hope you have wonderful family time together. We want to thank you for your continued partnership in making our school year a success, and we look forward to an amazing April and May!
Before testing season and the activities of May happen, we have two exciting school fundraisers left to help provide books for our library and to provide outdoor basketball courts. Please see more on the Read-a-Thon and the Color Run below!
If you have an incoming kindergarten student, or know someone who does, please see flyers below on registration and the See the School Night on April 8. Please also see our Calendar of Events below, and mark your calendars for summative testing days for MAP for all grades and for 3rd-5th grade ATLAS testing. Please refrain from scheduling appointments during that time, if at all possible, so students can complete testing on time.
Please ask your child this weekend what they are learning about on the learning power of imagination! Classes are exploring why imagination is important and where we can find inspiration.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Farris
STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Monday April 1, 2024, and is sure to be a fun and exciting event.
We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.
This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:

Thank you so much for your participation and support. Together, we can make this Read-A-Thon an amazing experience for our young readers!
