The students were able to participate in our first annual Health Day the Friday before April break. Staff started the day with a visit from Espresso Dave before jumping into various Social and Emotional Sessions. Students were able to enjoy so many different workshops including making smoothies with a blender bike, learning the art of comic making, a magic show, making pinwheels, learning technology and bike safety, and more! We are so grateful to the PTA, our workshop volunteers, our parent volunteers, and all others that made this possible!
Mrs. Cote’s class celebrated growing vowel power with a Glow Day party! The students listened to two different books about fireflies – one fiction and one nonfiction. They used highlighters to complete a directed drawing of fireflies in a jar, took turns building at the glow table, read with flashlights and used pattern blocks on the glow table to play Roll & Glow.
The students were able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air on Thursday as they walked around the perimeter of the building for ACES day.

We are preparing for graduation on June 1 at the SPAC at 7:00 p.m., everyone is invited to share in our celebration. Our graduations are always filled with wonderful stories of students overcoming obstacles and finding success. Consider this your invitation to attend our incredible graduation!
