Patriot Press

Greetings Poynter Families,

The past two weeks have been filled with so many exciting events!

First, if you attended the play last weekend, you already know what an incredible production it was. Our students were fantastic! A big thank you to Ms. Thompson for all her hard work in bringing the performance to life.

We also enjoyed a fun and engaging Spirit Week, and on Tuesday, members of our talented band performed downtown. Meanwhile, exciting things have been happening in the classroom. For example, in Ms. Alder’s science class, students explored chemical reactions and got to see a fascinating demonstration using dry ice.

Thank you for sending us such amazing students. We love working with them every day. We hope your students have a wonderful break and look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Go Patriots!
