All proceeds go directly back to our school, so invite your friends and neighbors. Hope to see you all there!

It's that time of year again, testing season! While we do not pressure our students during testing time, we do remind them that they need to "show what they know" and take the testing seriously. What we would like for the students to so is to be sure they sleep well the night before, get a filling breakfast, and be ready to do their best.

We do NOT want to pressure out students, but we DO want them to take this seriously, show us what they know and be prepared on those important days.

Our test scores do determine our school grade, which in turn determines how the public views our school, so there is a level of importance to this testing. If our families can give reminders of being ready and prepared for these tests, it is important practice for other life events on which they will need to prepare for.

Thank you for working with your child and expressing how to prepare for important events, taking the time to do their best, and celebrating the fact they they are hard workers and this is how they can show off that hard work.

Our testing schedule can be found on the school calendar below as well as in the calendars that were brought home today. This week, 5th and 8th graders will take their Science exam on Tuesday, May 14th. and 7th and 8th grade will take their Civics End of Course Exam on Thursday, May 16th.

This Saturday, May 18th, at 9:00am will be our last big campus clean up of the year! If you need to get in those last few service hours, now is the time to do it. Bring a water bottle, sun ready clothes and some tools for the following jobs:

- Installing new paper towel dispensers in all classrooms and office buildings

- General school yard clean up
