We would like to wish you all a safe, fun summer with time spent with family and friends. The 2017-18 school year was exciting as we focused on our futures beginning with our growth mindset work along with our AVID for college strategies. It was amazing to see so many of our students researching colleges and potential majors even in First Grade! We are looking forward to seeing more STEAM activites next year and watching our budding scientists and engineers develop.

Fourth Grade parents we NEED your help in getting ready to travel back in time for our Gold Rush event this Friday, May 18th. This is an amazing event for our 4th graders and it is not possible without parent support. If you are able to help with getting materials ready Thursday during the day or evening, please contact Sandy Ross at daisyross [at] mac.com or stop by the office and let us know! As you arrive to school on Friday, you'll be shocked to see the transformation the front of the school gets! We are thrown back into the "old west" complete with activities like panning for gold, buying land, and tracking down people on the WANTED posters around campus...they have very familiar faces on them! Please let us know if you can help! 

Parents of 5th graders! Today, in your child's backpack, you will find some important information about our 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony on Tuesday, June 12th at 10:00. Our event will take place on the front grass and there will be a luncheon for the students immediately afterwards in the cafeteria.  It is a potluck and we will need lots of hands to help with decorating the cafeteria. Our Fifth grade teachers, Ms. Pressley, Ms. Calicchio, Mrs. Thiemann, and Ms. Calano, will need parent support for this day to be amazing for the students. Please make sure to check the backpacks and sign up for whatever you can to help our team of wonderful teachers out! Thank you in advance :)
