Melissa, April and Matthew put on a fabulous show Wednesday night in front of an absolutely packed house.  The kids sounded great and displayed all of the hard work and skill that the teachers instilled in them.  Special thanks to Todd, Bill and Danielle for making the night a success.



Special thanks to Tim, Tony, Frank and the night crew who had to deal with a sudden snow and getting the gym setup and cleaned up for our band and choir concert.



Michelle and Kathy worked  extremely hard to make our book fair a success. Their work will benefit our library and ultimately our students with the $ they raised for more books.

Sherry's class is where it is at today with Rube Goldberg projects in the morning and tamale parties in the afternoon.  What a fun and engaging day for her students.

Dr. LeBlanc and Dr. Huenecke did an excellent job in a very tough parent meeting yesterday.  I appreciate their knowledge and communication skills that enable us to work through tough problems.

I am looking forward to the 5th grade Caroling trip next week.  It is always great to have our 5th grade students spread holiday cheer to some nursing home residents.




Jen and Lynette were knocking the healthy cooking recipes out of the park this week with their students. I appreciate the time and effort that went into the planning and safety considerations for our students as they build knowledge and skills.



3 home games in one week made for a very busy schedule for Matt Tylk, Dan and Nicole.  Also thanks to Marcia and Rich on Scoreboard and Kerry, Lyn and Michelle for supervising.
