Principal's Message
You're in the home stretch! Congrats on making it through an unprecedented year, and making it through successfully. This school year has been a year of such awesome growth for our students. I am so very proud of all of their hard work. Take the time this summer to enjoy the time off, visit with family, read with your child, and rejuvenate – the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year will be here in the blink of an eye. The office is open Monday – Thursday during the summer from 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Hat's off to you and Happy Summer 🍉

Reading
MAKE READING FUN
his article details many ideas for making reading a special, fun, and exciting family activity. It's a pre-pandemic article, so be creative in thinking about how some of the activities could work just as well on Zoom.
Learning
TRAVEL TO THE COOLEST PLACES , EVER
Ok, only virtually, at least for now. But there are so many parts of the world to explore, and a too-hot or too-rainy summer day is the perfect time for a virtual adventure. Who knows? Maybe next summer in real life!
Playing
Cooking
DIY-it!
Why spend $ when you don't have to? There's no time like summer to do it yourself, make it yourself, maybe even sell it yourself!
- Here's a great recipe for DIY playdough (too old for playdough? How about slime?)
- Here's an easy way to make your own bubbles and bubble wands.
- Or repurpose outgrown blue jeans into cute tote bags
- And then there's the lemonade stand... here's a great book that teaches kids (of any age) the tools and skills for managing their own business.
