Your proud principal,

Heritage Board Spotlight- ITALY
Thank you, Stephanie Sawtell, for putting together our Heritage Board this month! The students (and staff!) have really enjoyed learning about all of the countries in the spotlight this school year. So far we’ve learned about China, Belarus, South Korea, Zambia, and Italy.
Dolvin Cubing Club
Before Mrs. Holladay left, she hosted her last Cubing Club meeting on January 9th.
On December 5th, the cubers competed against each other. After 3 rounds of intense cube solving, 4th grader, Arjun Kambalapally won by solving the 3 x 3 x3 cube in 19.834 seconds. Incredible! Competition is tough, but everyone had amazing times!
