A massive thank you to the local businesses and individuals who made our Para Appreciation event so special.
Our Paraprofessionals are the heartbeat of our school—they are the extra hands, the quiet encouragers, and the glue that holds our classrooms together. We couldn’t do what we do without them!Many of our donors are local small businesses, and we’d love to pay their generosity forward.

Third graders had a fun challenge last week in library class. After listening to the two comedians on Ryan and Craig's Storytime read The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, the students were challenged with making their own houses out of a variety of materials and working as a team. I was amazed at how well they did, considering the time constraint that we were working with! Soon the Big Bad Wolf (Mrs. Reinert's blow dryer!) showed up and tried to blow their houses down! I'm happy to report that all houses were sturdy enough (thank you, masking tape!) to withstand the wolf!

May 1st = FUN!

Reminder that this Friday, April 3rd, is a staff professional learning day so NO SCHOOL for students, and Monday the 6th there is NO SCHOOL due to us not using all of our snow days. Enjoy the long, 4 day weekend!

For those who want to pay by card, you can order through this link.
