PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Happy Fall Vacation Everyone!!

We have all, students and staff, worked hard over the past nine weeks of the first quarter! We all deserve some well-earned time away from school. Please make sure you take advantage of the opportunity our district gives us this week to step away from studies and work for a few days and recharge. The intent is that everyone will return to school in 10 days, ready to dive back into learning for the second quarter.

First quarter was busy with lots of outdoor learning, taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather. Second quarter will be busy with all sorts of celebrations, including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah. As we enjoy these annual celebrations, we also need to stay focused on attending school every day and working our hardest in class.

It's great to work with such a devoted community, thank you for all you do to support the students and staff at Paonia K-8!
