Happy Friday, Everitt families!
We have an exciting week coming up for students. On Wednesday, we have our 8th grade awards ceremony and our final assembly of the year. On Thursday, our 8th graders head to Elitch Gardens for the day, have continuation rehearsal in the afternoon, and continuation in the evening. For the first time, we will have a combined advanced band and orchestra playing the processional music. This is a huge accomplishment for our musicians! 8th graders do not come to school on Friday. Our 6th and 7th graders will spend the day on Friday playing kick ball, eating hot dogs, signing yearbooks, and having academic awards ceremonies. It will be a wonderful ending to the year.
Next Friday, we will do our last newsletter of the year. It will contain some information about what to expect in the fall, photos from our last week activities, and our best wishes for a great summer.
Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!

Help us Preserve Camp Everitt: A PTA task force met earlier this week to discuss how best to preserve Camp Everitt and have a plan to make sure it is available for incoming 6th graders this summer and ongoing. Our next steps will be looking for adult volunteers for 1 or 3 days (likely early August) as well as some High School kids. In addition we will be looking for a handful of local businesses as sponsors.

Maddy W. - Maddy has really made an effort to improve her grades and stay on top of her assignments. Several times she has asked specifically to work on unfinished work in Learning Strategies and demonstrated a real commitment. Great job, Maddy!
Alex A. - Alex has really shown a willingness to stay on task and complete work in Learning Strategies this Spring. I am really noticing a difference in his work.
Lily R. - Lily and Greta were brave and spoke over the whole school system about the importance of diversity and honoring one another. They are leaders by action!
Greta F. - Lily and Greta were brave and spoke over the whole school system about the importance of diversity and honoring one another. They are leaders by action!
Ali M. - Ali is one of the hardest working students I have had the honor to teach. Ali invests so much thought, creativity, correct grammar and special, and love into their work. I am just so very grateful to have them as a leader in my classroom but also feeling bittersweet that I only had one year with this amazing student. Thank you for creating authentic, wonderful work.
Nariah A. - A student new to the school two months ago, was working along when Nariah said, " Come work with us!" This new student, who had been feet away, yet who felt like "miles" away suddenly, found a group of friends.
Faye C. - When I covered for 4th hour for Ms. Gould, Faye was extremely respectful. She showed immense levels of respect for me!
Daniel V. - Daniel always comes to class with a positive attitude. He is enthusiastic and excited about all things history! He is so polite and helpful cleaning up the classroom. He leaves class each day by telling me to have a great day, it makes my afternoon!
