Pinning Ceremonies
We will have our very first, quarterly pinning ceremonies on October 29. This is a time to celebrate the academic and social/behavioral achievements of our students. Since this is our first ceremony, I want to make sure you have as much information as possible and have plenty of time to ask any questions or voice any concerns you have. Kindergarten will not participate in a ceremony and I am open to alternate ideas to recognize their achievements. Parents are invited to attend. I will put invitations (see below for sample) near the mailboxes in the front office. Once you have determined who will receive awards in your class please send these home to those students, only. We will recognize the following achievements (see below for the awards sheet). Also, the schedule is below. We will be in the cafeteria. I have requested bagged lunches for students this day.
Schedule:
- 8:00 2nd Grade
- 9:15 3rd Grade
- 10:30 4th Grade
