Weekly Waddle

Pattengill Community,

This week was a full-circle moment for our former students and a glimpse into the future for our current students. Pattengill welcomed back 13 former Penguins (and graduating Berkley High School Seniors) this week, marking their last day as Berkley Schools students. The Senior Clap Out has an impactful experience on our students and shapes their understanding of community, transition, and the value of perseverance and friendship.

Thursday was our last Habit Huddle of the school year and we made our last time together this school year memorable. Students reflected on what they were proud of this year and the goals they had for the summer. We ended the Habit Huddle by having the whole school meet outside in our groups with popsicles. We are already looking forward to next school year's Habit Huddles.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and safe travels to our families spending the holiday weekend away.

Proud to Be Your Principal,

Shamika

The Berkley Summer Difference STEM program is intended for students currently in Grades TK-5. The STEM camp will focus on problem solving, engineering design and offer hands-on opportunities. Classes will be taught by certified, highly-qualified elementary teachers. Depending on enrollment, multi-grade sections may be organized to better meet staffing needs. The summer program will be educational and enjoyable.

The Berkley Summer Difference program is intended for current Berkley Schools students in grades TK-5 who need to maintain or grow in their academic achievement from the 2023-2024 school year.

Classes will be taught in person by certified, highly-qualified elementary teachers. Depending on enrollment, multi-grade sections may be organized to better meet staffing needs. The summer program will be educational and enjoyable!

For the past two years, it has been a Berkley Schools' tradition for graduating Berkley High School Seniors to return to their elementary and middle schools for one final walk through the halls. On Tuesday, Pattengill welcomed former Penguins and wished them well on their new journeys. It was a wonderful experience for our current and former Penguins.
