Week in Review:
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As another week comes to an end, I am once again filled with joy and gratitude for the presence of our amazing students in our building. With the warmer weather comes lots of student energy and the ability for teachers to do some fun and creative learning activities. I have seen butterflies emerging in various classes, outdoor construction and excavation, and creative art projects among all grades. Even though we are approaching the end of the year, I am so proud of our students and teachers who are giving it their best each and every day.
Please be sure to read the whole newsletter. It has lots of important information. Finally, as always, be sure to subscribe to this newsletter to get it directly to your Inbox.
If you want to get an inside peek into life at the school, check the slideshows on my Google Classroom page.
