A huge thank you to Drew Hrach, Steve Donze, and Marco Mariscal for completing our pallet furniture in the reading lounge.  With the funds raised for iDiscover and our grandparent donations, we will be purchasing cushions for these seats.

Also, I would like to give a big gigantic shout out to 2nd grader Finn D. who had a birthday party and collected $290 to donate to the iDiscover project.  We plan on purchasing a big shed to store our blue blocks that should be arriving later this week.  

Grandparents Day was such a success!  I am so proud of our 5th graders and their teachers.  Check out the photo album here.   As a part of our service leadership initiative, the 5th graders welcomed their grandparents to come and learn about how we are integrating technology daily at our school. From our greeter leaders to our coffee station, everyone felt welcome and commented on what a wonderful school we had. They had a chance to learn about snap circuits, legos, iMovie (A Day in the Life of a 5th grader), and Makey Makey kits. As one sweet grandma put it, "Things sure have changed a lot since I was in school!" I am so proud of the amazing respect and patience that was shown by our children today. Way to begin with the end in mind!     A special thanks to Valerie Creech, JoAnne, Lindsay, 5th grade teachers, and Marco for making this a success!

  • Please do a quick hallway check Monday morning.  I would like to ask that you remove any back to school or welcome activities if they are still up.
  • Also, if you have any strings of lights in your room, please make sure they are plugged directly into the wall.  To meet fire code, we can't have any of these plugged into extension cords.  Thank you for your help with this.
