May News

We made it to May...Yay!! What a crazy year it has been but I am so proud of everyone doing the best they could, being flexible, supportive, and going above and beyond to make this year possible.  I'm grateful for the staff, students, and families. Thank you! 

Teacher Appreciation Week

To celebrate all of the hard work the teachers have done, let's show our support during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 3-7)

Reading Program Opportunity

If you are on Facebook, Scholastic is hosting a free Facebook Live Event for Parents called  Scholastic Parents Night: The Power of Summer Reading.  

Join us for a virtual panel of Scholastic authors, education experts, and the booksellers will give tips and book recommendations that will keep kids excited to read all summer long! We'll also have a book recommendation speed-round with an indie bookseller, and interviews with beloved authors! 

Here is the link to the event if you are interested:
