Ronald McDonald House Update

Ronald McDonald stopped by on Monday to collect the pop tabs our school has been collecting since the beginning of Lent.  Our Lenten collection exceeded our goal of 35 pounds and topped out at 75 pounds of tabs.  We combined our Lenten collection with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade's collections from last year and earlier this year to make a grand total of 229 pounds! That is 292,204 tabs, which pays for a family to stay at the Ronald McDonald House for seven nights. What a great job! We have decided to join the intermediate students with their pop tab collection so we can continue to help families at the Ronald McDonald House. You can continue to send in your tabs to the school and we will store them until we fill up another tote. Ronald said he would come back to collect our tabs all we need to do is call.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day! It is such a treat to work with such great kids and families. Relax and enjoy your day.

Spring Program

Mark your calendars for this year's K - 5 Spring Program.  The students will be performing some of the songs they have been working on in class.  There will be a 1:00 and a 6:30 performance.  Looking forward to seeing every one at the show.

Thank You

It was so great to see you all at this year's Science Fair!  The kids were so excited to share their skeletal projects and lung experiments. They also liked walking around and seeing what the older kids worked on too. The overall opinion, was that the Mad Scientist was the best, especially when he lit the tiny pieces of paper on fire. It was a great time and a great job done by all of the kids.

Happy Spring!

It is official, shorts are allowed as part of the student uniform. The students are now allowed to wear shorts to school.  Remember, that it is still pretty cold in the morning when we line up outside or go out for morning recess.  The predicted warm temps are not usually reached until late in the day.  It is a good idea to keep to keep an extra sweater or sweatshirt in the locker or  back pack for those chilly mornings. Also a reminder that all shoes worn to school must have backs on them.

Spring is here!

Yeah, Spring has arrived!! We have enjoyed the wonderful mild weather and are looking forward to more to come. We have sent home the boots and snow pants in exchange for spring jackets.  It still might be a good idea to keep an extra sweater or sweatshirt in your child's locker for those chilly mornings.  The boiler doesn't run as often it can get a little chilly in the morning. Also, the first day for shorts to be worn to school, is April 1st.
