Celebrating the final weeks!

Sixth Graders serenading the office! They had all mastered the chords and strumming
and sounded great all playing together!
AND...they were all wearing nothing but smiles and exuding joy!

Look at these hallways!

Team Effort

This afternoon, two boys in fourth grade deliberately left the building from the boys bathroom. They were missed immediately and the hunt was on. I want to thank everyone who supported locating the boys, who I found walking the sidewalk in the neighborhood off of Woodlands. In spite of our best procedures to keep this from happening, if a student wants to exit the building, it can be done. The police were called. Parents were called and numerous staff stepped up to support locating the boys. Everything at the building level was handled calmly and with expertise. It's always a good reminder of why our procedures are so critical and allow us to know immediately if a student is missing. Thanks for your diligence every day to adhering to our protocols for safety. 

Hiring Update:

This afternoon, Teresa Littrell, accepted the 2/3 Discovery teaching position. Teresa is a teacher in Douglas County and brings a wealth of experience, expertise, passion and sunshine to our Crew. 

We have a third grade teaching position yet to fill. It is my sincerest hope to find the right candidate within the next few weeks so I can formally share information with our community.

Hard to believe that a week ago I was shoveling over a foot of snow! 

How wonderful that spring weather is with us.

Have a great weekend!
