News from Principal Schwartz
Dear CTE Families:
Lot’s of excitement is in the air here as it is SCOOTER CITY time. Ms. Verplaetse, our physical education teacher, spends hours preparing an engaging obstacle course that students get to explore on scooters. Check out the pictures below.
Our fun will continue next week with our Student Leadership plan to have a Spirit Week. Here is our schedule:
Monday- Comfy Clothes Day (pjs or comfy clothes, please no slippers).
Tuesday- Fancy/Cool Day (Dress up in your fanciest clothes; no hair spray or dye please).
Wednesday- Twins Day (Find a friend, classmate, or teacher to match with for the day! You can wear the same color, design, or outfit).
Thursday- Jersey/Sports Day (Wear your favorite jersey or sports team).
Friday- Beach Day (Dress like it’s a hot summer day- sunglasses, beach hat, bright flower shirt, sun dress etc. Please bring clothes to put over for recess.)
All my best,
Jen
