Another Year Over!

I’m sure I said the same thing last year but this year certainly seemed to fly by pretty quickly! We were fortunate to have amazing weather for yesterday’s field days. Thank you to Miss O’Keefe and all of the volunteers who helped pull it off to make it such a huge success!


Congratulations to Lauren Puchta, a 5th grade student in Miss Button’s class, whose essay about “What Veteran’s Day Means to Me,” was selected as one of the winners. Her essay came in 3rd place for Division 1. She was invited to read her essay at the Elks Flag Day Ceremony on Flag Day, June 14th.
Please remember that next Tuesday and Wednesdays are half-days. Dismissal will be at 11:30. Report cards will be distributed on Wednesday. Just like last year, teacher’s names will not be printed on the report card. You will receive a letter in mid-August identifying your child’s teacher for the fall. As I indicated in the letter I sent back in April, we are unable to take specific teacher requests or non-requests, and any information you wanted us to take into consideration when placing your child needed to be submitted to me by Friday, May 9th. The teachers have been working for over six weeks now to ensure the best possible fit for your child, and the best balance among the classes.

Our 5th graders will have their recognition ceremony next Tuesday at 9:30 and then will visit CMS on Wednesday. They will be transported home from the middle school at 12:15. The students will eat their lunch at CMS so they will either need a bagged lunch, $2.50, or money on their MySchoolBucks account.

I hope you have a relaxing and wonderful summer
