Principal's Weekly Update

Greetings from your principal, Jennifer Newby.

I hope everyone has had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the first quarter of the school year! The quarter ends on Tuesday, October 31st and there will be a teacher workday on Wednesday, November 1st. Report cards will be distributed to students on Thursday, November 9th.

PTA Happenings:

Coin War Results:

• It's been a true battle with many ups and downs. HUGE thank you to all who participated and helped raise money for our PTA!

• We raised a total of $10,747.77

• The winning grade level who will get a Theme Day is: 6th grade!

• And don't forget, the winning team has won a 30 minute recess break with popsicles and will have 5 students drawn at random to win $50 Amazon gift cards.

• After enduring heavy sabotage, this team flew under the radar - had ZERO silver in their jug on Monday and added huge points at the last minute. The team winner is...The Thunderhawks! Congratulations.
