Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Fortunately the weather is cooperating in time for the Valentine's Day parties today! Thank you to all of the room parents who make the parties possible for our students.
Mary Poppins
Last Wednesday, thanks to our District’s Director of Fine Arts, Bill Davern, we were able to take the entire fourth and fifth grade classes from the whole district to a preview of Mary Poppins. Our students were a very respectful audience and really enjoyed the opportunity.

Education Fair
This year’s Education Fair is shaping up to be the biggest yet! The event will be held on Tuesday, March 21. It’s not too late to submit an application. A big thank you goes out to our PTA again this year for supplying display boards to every participating student.
