Egg drop challenge excitement in the 5th grade.


Thanks to Jessica for another great edition of the Tiger Times and for throwing the end of year Pizza Party for her reporters.



Thanks to Bill, Keriann, Sherry, Ellen T, Melissa and Matt for all of their help in making this years Graduation a success.  Also, thanks to the many staff members that attended.  It means a lot to the students.


8th grade Clap Out.  Thanks to Kim and Randy for putting together the awesome mix-tape song.



Thanks to Kim for being the certificate and diploma wizard as the end of the year winds down and the award season heats up.



Thanks to Michelle Fiorini for completing the last Gamer's club and wrapping up the end of the year in the Library with recognizing our library volunteers.

Please make sure you complete your room check-out by Tuesday and don't forget to turn in your extra duty form for next year.


Lyn has done a tremendous job again with this years yearbook.  I know how much work it takes to put out such a quality book that I am sure the kids will enjoy.

Thanks to Alicia and Jill for doing a great job filling in for Mark and Lori respectively this week and to Julie Seeman for doing a great job in 5th grade at the end of the year.  I marvel at how talented our staff is.

As Cheryl's email from Debbie yesterday indicated you will have the opportunity to read Mindset over the summer by Carol Dweck.  It is a great read and we will be working on some of the  mindset concepts next year.  Thanks to Debbie, Melissa, Courtney, Megan D and Megan P from our staff  for helping to facilitate these activities next year.


We wish Mr. Feffer the best of luck in his sabbatical year next year.  I'm sure it will be an adventure filled with family, growth, travel and learning.
