Hello Quantum Families!
We had such an exciting Friday assembly! We announced our Employees of the Year and kicked off our Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association!
Congratulations to Ms. Lori our Classified Employee of the Year and Mrs. Murphy our Teacher of the Year!
Ms. Lori highlights our lead with empathy value as she volunteers her time to help in the garden, take care of the chickens, support students in the classroom, coach Boys and Girls club sports, and tackle any project the school needs help with. She would do anything for any member of our Quantum community! Thank you Ms. Lori for your dedication to Quantum!
Mrs. Murphy shows us how to impact the community through the design thinking process with big project based learning opportunities. Projects such as Aquatica, Olympics, and now Mobile Art carts impact the Quantum community and the larger community as well. We appreciate Mrs. Murphy’s time and drive to make the world a better place!
We kicked off our Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association. We have a school-wide goal of having 100% of staff, students, and at least one family member at home learn lifesaving hands only CPR. Staff were trained last week and students will learn the skill in PE class with Ms. Moretti. Students can show the how-to video to family members at home to help us reach out goal! The fundraising component of the challenge is totally optional.
Here’s the message from the American Heart Association regarding the Kids Heart Challenge:
Let the games begin, Heart Heroes! Kids Heart Challenge has kicked off! Sign up for the Kids Heart Challenge and spend 2 minutes as a family learning what to do in case of a cardiac emergency.
