We have some umbrellas and random tie that was left here after Prom on Saturday. Please claim if they belong to your house.

Due to the weather, the after-prom trip has been postponed. We will try to reschedule this event. The prom dance will continue as planned until 11:30 pm. Please drive safely.

Pre-K students finished up their unit on Farms as well as Living vs Non-living things. Sarah & Thomas Bode were so kind to bring a couple of their bottle goats to show students and answer any questions they had. It was the perfect afternoon to enjoy nature and be with the goats! Yesterday, Pre-k compared living and non-living things between a gummy worm and a real life nightcrawler! Students were allowed to use their sense to describe some similarities and some differences. Then, we released the words back outside! Mrs. Smith had a fresh bag of gummy worms to share when we were finished & washed hands!

Congratulations to these students for making the Honor or Merit Roll for the 3rd quarter. Your hard work is shining through!

Pre-k students have been working hard in mastering their letters and sounds. We finally made it to the end of our letters and celebrated with a Letter Parade! Students were assigned two letters to make a quilt square for, had the option to bring a treat that started with their letter, and the option to dress up with a costume of their letter. We performed a song, recited our sounds, and enjoyed our alphabet feast with our family!
