Thanks Mr. Hood for planning a super fun Kids Heart Challenge today. We had so much fun jumping and dancing to great music.
It's time to jump for healthy hearts tomorrow in PE. All 2nd - 5th graders must have their permissions slips turned in to Mr. Hood tomorrow to participate.
So proud of our WA #aboveandbeyond recipients. Way to go Mrs. Pasqua and our bus driver Ms. Williams.
The school has turned into a JUNGLE of reading tonight. Animal safaris, escape games and more.
Literacy Night and Book Fair!
Spending some time this morning building a city with the first graders.
We were so excited to meet our new kindergartners tonight. Class of 2033!
Open PTO meeting tonight at Western Avenue in the library at 6:30 tonight. Updates from PTO, Dr. Smith and Mrs. Isabelli.
Woohoo!!! We met our plastic bag goal! Way to go Green Team.
We are only 5,000 bags away from our goal. Our Green Team parents weighed and delivered bags today to TREX. Keep the recycling coming WA! Our drive ends this Friday.
Just a reminder that tomorrow is an early dismissal at 11:15. Also, if your student is passing out valentines and including candy, the candy must be from the safe snack list.
Excited to honor our 5th grade bus helpers tonight at the Board of Education meeting. They do a wonderful job helping our K/1 friends at dismissal everyday.
Student Council had a great first day of Candy Gram selling. Tomorrow is the last day to purchase one. Students will still pass out regular Valentine's to all students in their class on Valentine's Day, this is just a fun little extra.
