NEW! Crew Kudos

We are halfway through Winter Voyage season and I would like to celebrate Ms. Sam O. and Mr. Cody K. for their continued dedication to ensuring that all of our crews have an abounding voyage!  They take the greatest care in preparing our crews, educating them while on voyage and ensuring that they have such an awesome experience.  We are so grateful for their commitment!

This week was National Counseling Week!  Please help me in celebrating Ms. Monica and Ms. Allison for their sheer super powers.  They truly hold our community together by supporting our students, parents and staff! 

Kindness Week: February 13-17

Please join us in celebrating National Kindness Week with our community next week.  Crews will be working on kindness projects to show stewardship within our community.  Please ask your child to sharer their commitments to kindness with you.  We invite our parents to get involved in making a kindness commitment for the week! 

School Resource Officer Appreciation Day- Wednesday, February 15th

Wednesday is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day! We will be making cards and shower Officer Troy Stembel with love and appreciation for keeping our students safe.  Feel free to drop off a note or gift of appreciation to the main office before Wednesday.

REMINDER: A note from Ms. Sami's Crew

Ms. Sami's 4th-grade Crew is continuing the tradition of the Cereal Box Challenge for their Beat. Ms. Sami's Crew is coordinating with a local food bank to donate all the cereal boxes for their service project. The goal is to beat the school record from last year: 245 cereal boxes. Ms. Sami's Crew is asking each student and staff member to bring in an unopened box of cereal by February 14.
