Happy Spring to all the School 8 families!! School 8 welcomed the first day of Spring with a wonderful assembly with th Grand Falloons. All grade level enjoyed the shows. All students made a pinwheel and put their pinwheels on display in front of the school. Students also colored pictures for our local senior citizens. We finished this month with Our Student of the Month Awards for February & March. On March 28th, our first Multiplication Wars for Grades 3-4-5. Let the best Mathematician Team win!!!! April starts next week and hopefully April showers will bring lots of May flowers. Spring Break starts April 18th.
All the best,
