 Congrats to Colleen Morgan  and her 6th science students as they successfully utilized their pizza ovens that they built as they cooked (marshmallows) in the parking lot Monday.  



Thanks to Kerry for starting the Kindness Project with her students.  What a great lesson and message for her students and for all who support their class.  



Morgan did a great job with her beginning band recruitment parent meeting on Tuesday Night! She had many high school volunteers who helped the 4th grade students become familiar with a variety of instruments.  It was a great success.  

Congrats to our coaches!  As our spring season heads towards the finish line our track team hosted their home meet this week and girls soccer keeps squeaking out wins.  Thanks to Courtney, Bill, Carrie, Abby, Matt and Joe for their hard work and dedication to our student athletes. 



I'm very happy that within the last week our staff has had the chance to articulate about students (last Friday) and content (Wednesday).  If you throw in the data meetings (Thursday) about student interventions and services, that is a lot of important information that will help us  start the next school year strong!.  

Thanks  to Alex for organizing the Limo Lunch on Thursday for students who sold magazines for student council.  My highlight was when I asked the students how they know the song "Take on Me" by Aha (1985) and one student replied "My grandparents play it for me every once in a while!" ....Monday we have the reverse dunk tank in full effect during lunch time.  It should be a balmy 72 degrees!



I appreciate Tims help in communicating with Matt from Community Fellowship Church and securing what we need for graduation.  It is coming up quickly!

Office Reminders* Final end of the year awards are due to Kim by May 19th.   All final grades are due in power school by May 27th:   8th grade by 7am   5th-7th grade by Noon.  Please help Kim by making these deadlines.  



6th grade has organized an excellent education trip for their students today.  Brookfield Zoo is a wonderful setting for  an engaging and fun experience for our kiddos.  

I am looking forward to our Spring Band and Choir Concerts as well as our All School Picnic and Charity Fest next week.

Please make sure that we are tightening up on supervision the next couple of weeks. The end of the year is in our students sight and they are becoming a little restless. That means that we have to be structured, keep academics a priority and make students are always supervised. Please let only one student out of your classroom at a time to go to the bathroom, get a drink etc...  I appreciate your efforts during this crazy time.
