If you are unable to complete the survey online and would like a paper copy of the survey come on by the school office and we will print one for you.
Can Recycling Drive- 8th Grade Fundraiser
Our 8th grade students are raising money for their 8th Grade Trip at the end of the school year. They will be collecting cans to take to be recycled for the remainder of the school year. If you have aluminum cans that you would like to donate, please send them with your student and turn them in to the school office. It would be great if they were completely empty and in a bag when they are dropped off. We will take them every week or so to the recycling center, so when ever you get a collection of them feel free to send them in. All funds from the recycled cans will go to help pay for our 8th Grade Trip.
Our staff and students would like to send out a huge THANK YOU to the Lakehead Lions Club for once again supporting our school and students. In February they provided all of our students with amazing Valentine's Day gifts (See the cups with candy and a balloon in the photo). Our students were so excited and appreciative!
Student of the Month Awards
Our February Student of the Month Awards Assembly will be held on Monday, March 11th at 9:15 in our cafeteria. We will be celebrating the students that were chosen to have best exemplified the values of the month for February. The February Value was: Be caring by making friends with someone who needs one. Teachers will send home invitations to the awards assembly to our award winners' families prior to the assembly.
For the month of March our Value is:
Listen attentively while others are speaking!

Message from Leslie Rames
It is hard to believe that we are completing our 2nd Trimester already! It seems like the first day of school was just a month or two ago. Time sure flies when we are busy working and learning! February was a busy month of purposeful learning as well as participating in the "Great Kindness Challenge", 100th day of School Activities, and of course celebrating Valentine's Day. Our 3rd Trimester stretch is filled with lots of activities and learning to better prepare our students for end of year testing and ensuring that they are fully prepared to move onto the next grade level. Attendance is very important during the next few months!
March will be just as busy of a month with lots of learning and school activities. Our 2nd Trimester ends on Friday, April 1st (This is not an April Fool's Day Joke 😃). Report Cards will be sent home the following Friday, March 8th so keep your eyes out for them. We will be participating in Read Across America on Monday, March 4th with classroom reading activities and guest readers. Classes will be decorating their classroom doors with a Dr. Seuss book theme as part of Read Across America so if you pop by the school that week make sure to check out each classroom's door. Castle Rock Elementary Heritage Day will be observed this year on Tuesday, March 5th. The day will be filled with fun Heritage Day activities such as making homemade butter, making a school-wide quilt (paper), gold panning, playing jacks, using an old fashioned wash board, singing/playing old time music, etc.
Our Spring Break is the week of March 25th-March 29th. We originally had 3 Inclement Weather Days (April 1st-3rd) following Spring Break, however, we will be using Wednesday, April 3rd as the Make-Day for the school closure on January 10th. Wednesday, April 3rd will be a minimum school day with dismissal at 1:00 PM.
I wish you all a healthy March and an enjoyable, safe Spring Break!
