A Peek Inside the Week - March 3rd, 2023
Happy First Snow Day!
We loved hearing about all the good old fashioned fun that students had on Tuesday. Check out this IMPRESSIVE snowman created by Jacob and Robbie Caless!
A Note from Your Principals
Hard to believe it's March - only 10 days until daylight savings and 17 days until spring! With spring come some important reminders:
- Early Release Wednesdays (ERW) begin again later this month. March 22nd will be the first and they will continue through the remainder of the year.
- Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on the first 4 ERWs - 3/22, 3/29, 4/5, and 4/19. If you have not already scheduled a conference, please reach out to your child's teacher!
- Session #2 of the STEM/Science Olympiad Club begins on Tuesday, March 28th. STEM Club runs for 1-hour after school.
February PAWSitive Office Referrals and Shout Outs
Exciting Student Accomplishment
We'd like to take the opportunity to shine a light on Penelope Coursey. She worked super hard on a narrative writing piece ensuring it met certain criteria. After quite some work of writing, editing, and revising, her story was submitted to the Connecticut Writing Project. Her 5th grade teacher received an email last week that her story was selected for Honorable Mention in Connecticut Student Writers Magazine. While her piece itself will not be published, making it as far as she did is a tremendous accomplishment! Penelope will be recognized in May at a special student recognition night held at the Jorgensen Auditorium.

NED and our students will take a journey to find their positive mindset. The show is filled with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learn the hidden message in NED's name:
- Never give up — understand The Power of YET
- Encourage others — spark courage in other people
- Do your best® — always be learning and growing
