Splash Into Summer!


We had a great turn out Friday night for our end-of-the-year event, "Splash Into Summer"! The families had fun playing in water, hula hooping, eating, winning prizes, and enjoying the company of our wonderful school family!

THANK YOU to all the parents who donated cupcakes and all those who showed up to help. We had more than enough supplies and helpers! You are truly what makes our school GREAT!

Reading Across the Grade Levels



Our class has had the opportunity to read with a couple of different grade levels the last two weeks. Our first class we read with was Mr. Carroll's fifth grade class. We read "Stellaluna". Last week we read with Mrs. Johansen's fourth grade class and read "Adelita or Domalita (The Mexican Cinderella Story)".



The time spent reading with the other classes was very enjoyable. The students were all engaged and enjoyed reading together, it was beautiful! We hope to read with another class before the end of the school year!






Walking Field Trip to Silica Studios



We had a great field trip to Silica Studios, Mr. McMullen's custom ceramic studio. The class, along with several family volunteers, walked over to the studio on S. Williams Rd. We had a tour of the inner workings of a professional ceramic studio and made our own pinch pots! The kids were amazing little "potters" and we can't wait to see their finished product!


Thank you to Silica Studios for your hospitality and the opportunity for our class to make a special souvenier! Your support for our school community is greatly appreciated!
