This past
week has been, without a doubt, one of the busiest that we’ve had all year!
Last Monday our second graders went to Beaver Lake Nature Center. They learned about the various types of plants and species of animals that thrive around the lake. They especially loved learning about the carnivorous plants.

On Tuesday
we had our year end CODE assembly. Officer Brand presented awards to the fourth grade Internet Safety poster contest winners – Ella Kemp, Evan Quinn, and Ryan
Till. We heard fifth graders Libby Vignogna, Joey Neimeier, and Patrick Linton read their winning, well-researched essays about why they plan to lead
drug and alcohol free lives. We were fortunate to have Officer Grace, Chief
Winn, and Dr. Brown in attendance as well.

On Wednesday
our fifth graders met with CMS counselors to learn more about the middle
school, and our third graders were treated to an “Around the World” Strings
Quartet to showcase the different string instruments they can play in fourth grade.
On Thursday
we held our annual Lemonade Serenade Volunteer Reception for all of the many
people who donate their time to our school. The fifth Grade Battle of
the Books took place Thursday afternoon.

On Friday
our first graders went to the zoo while our fourth graders took a trip on the
Erie Canal where they had the experience of going through an actual lock.
Engineers from Lockheed Martin came to work with our fifth graders on designing
a device to safely land an egg.

A HUGE thank
you goes out to the PTA who was responsible for many of the events listed
above. We appreciate all of your support. June will continue to be a busy
month. I will send out another blog next week, but please remember that the
last two days of school (June 23 and June 24) are
half-days with an 11:30 dismissal. Fifth grade graduation will take
place on the 24th at 11:30. Lastly, it is not too late to register
for kindergarten. If you know of anyone with any incoming kindergarteners,
please send them our way! Enjoy the rest
of the week.
