May in Review
An a"MAY"zing month in deed!
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Well, another fantastic year is complete! Lots of learning took place over the course of the last 9 months. I'm proud of all we have accomplished. Thank you families and friends of our kids for partnering with us on this journey as we help to shape the lives of future innovators that will impact the future. "It takes a village" as the saying goes.
As we close out the year, I want to make sure I encourage everyone to make sure that learning continues over the summer. Riding bikes and playing tag in the backyard are important, but so is taking a little time to read and/or write each day. The students really enjoyed some of the learning apps---many are free. Just 15-30 minutes a day can make the world of difference to be ready for next year.
I don't want be too long winded in the closing newsletter, so I will simply end with---THANK YOU. Thank you kids for working hard. Thank you teachers for caring so much. (We--all the staff here--truly feel like these kids are part of our family!) Thank you parents for being involved in our school and working with us to support the emotional, social, and academic development of these kids! Thank you PTO for all you do! Thank you volunteers for giving your time to support these kids. Thank you. Thank you. We have so much to be thankful for and so much to be proud of.
Here's to a fantastic summer!
