In Appreciation

How do you appreciate the appreciators? Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate our wonderful staff the week! The PTA outdid themselves and it felt like there were volunteers coming and going every day this week. Meals, coffee, supplies, and scratchies. This week had it all. I also wanted to take a minute to recognize our wonderful staff. It made sense to me that this week the superintendent joined us for a staff meeting to recognize a few of our "Peak Performers". I feel very lucky to work with this dedicated group of professionals. They come in every day to engage our students in learning while also accomplishing a million other things they are required to do. And yet, they do it with a smile on their face and kindness in their hearts. This is a special team. 

While we are appreciating people, last week's communication got a little busy and I forgot to thank the wonderful volunteers led by Ms. Santello who did our spring cleanup in the Bengrahzi courtyard. Thank you to the Babyak/Sibbald family, the Oles family, and the Barabas family who are our regulars when it comes to this project. I'd also like to thank Christine, Xavier, Claire, Susie and Emily! Special shout out to the Oles family that came back this week to repair our outdoor stage!

Mid Summer!

Image
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars.  We have scheduled our annual  Popsicles on the Playground for   August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!   Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here . Our goal is always to keep costs for  families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out...

All the things!

The Middle School started the week off with a special presentation from Mr. John Frost. He travels the world witnessing and documenting eclipses. He shared his passion with the Middle Schoolers and explained the coming eclipse to them. The kids left excited about this upcoming phenomenon! Just a reminder that April 8th is a school day.  The bus company has asked me to remind parents that any balls transported on the bus should be tucked into backpacks before boarding. Apparently, there have been some issues with loose balls rolling around buses and this can be a safety hazard. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  As you may know, our courtyards are maintained by volunteers. They are due up for their spring cleanup . Ms. Santello will be leading a group of volunteers to tackle the Bangrazi courtyard on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00-2:00. Help clean up the raised garden beds, rake leaves, weed, and plant. Snacks and coffee provided. Contact Ms. Santello at elaine_sant...
