Hello,

We had a wild swing of temperatures last week! Please make sure your child brings a refillable water bottle on warm days, and a sweater on cold days.

Please remember that we are closed on Monday and  Thursday will be a half day as teachers are working on our curriculum for the next school year.

This Saturday we will hold our second Good Neighbors Festival on Treat Place, behind the school. Please come with your family, and invite friends.

There will be games, workshops, food, free groceries, and our dance and cheer teams will perform. There will also be a Dental Van offering free screenings if you register beforehand.

We are still looking for volunteers to help at the Festival on Saturday:

  • Setting-up at 8:30 am
  • Supervising an activity stand starting at 10:00 am
  • Helping at the grocery stand starting at 10:00 am
  • Helping at the Discovery table to invite families to apply to Discovery
  • Cleaning-up from 3:00 to 4:00 pm

Please let Ms. Lombard or Mrs. Grier know if you can volunteer and at what time.

Meanwhile our students continue their math, science, art, ELA, and social studies explorations. Please make sure to ask your child for their completion cards and sign it every day.
