Parent Teacher conferencesPlease remember that we dismiss at 2:10 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (Oct. 3, 4, 5) so that our teachers can prepare for Parent/Teacher conferences. Because of Parent/Teacher conferences, there is no school on Thursday or Friday of NEXT week (October 6th & 7th). If you have not already signed up for a conference, please do so right away. It is our expectation that we have 100% of our students represented at Parent/Teacher conferences. Your attendance and participation shows your child that you care about his or her education in a very meaningful way. Read More →

Field Day and Lunch on the Lawn
The big news of the day was Field Day and Lunch on the Lawn! Field Day was a huge success! Thank you to all of our adult friends who were able to volunteer their time to run the games and activities for the kids. A great big thank you goes to Dylan Cross and Sarah Freeman, our paraprofessionals, for organizing the day for all of us.It took a ton of time and effort and they did a great job! And, of course, thanks to our staff for their support in helping make sure the kids had a fun day today. The culmination of Field Day is our Tug of War competition. This year, Miss Rasmussen’s class defeated Miss Higdon’s class to take the sixth grade title in a tough, tough battle. And the sixth grade classes bested the staff this year in their competition so congratulations to all of our Tug...
Sesame Street Concert
A great big thank you to all of you who were able to attend our Songs of Sesame Street Spring Concert! We hope you had a great time and that perhaps some of the songs brought back some great childhood memories! When the fifth graders were singing “Rubber Ducky” I could vividly recall the Sesame Street episode in which Ernie was singing the song in his bathtub. And how about those kindergarteners singing “Elmo’s World”! I think all of the kids did a great job and I know from the smiles on their faces that they had a great time performing those songs for you. A great big thank you also goes out to our staff and kids who pulled together some great things at the last minute in terms of the decorations around the gym. And another big thank you to Mr. Akers, our guest music director,...
