Message from Principal Hedges
Hello Durham Families,
I cannot believe that another week has already passed! Such an exciting and busy week that included two school-wide events: the Durham Book Exchange and the Oregon Ballet Theater Assembly. We also hosted our Kindergarten Kick Off on Monday evening for incoming kinder families. It is such a delight to see those little ones getting ready for elementary school!
I want to thank our thoughtful and generous PSO, who met on Tuesday evening at Durham. Their support, energy, and time with Teacher Appreciation Week was incredible. They are also organizing the end-of-the-year luncheon for staff, for which we are so grateful. June 11th at 7:00 is our final PSO meeting of this school year. The current PSO will be passing the baton to the new PSO. We welcome all families to attend!
I want to remind everyone that this upcoming Wednesday, May 22 is a teacher Planning Day. There is NO SCHOOL for students.
Bests,
Principal Hedges
Mensaje de la directora Hedges
Hola familias de Durham,
¡No puedo creer que ya haya pasado otra semana! Fue una semana muy emocionante y ocupada que incluyó dos eventos a nivel escolar: el Intercambio de Libros de Durham y la Asamblea del Teatro de Ballet de Oregón. También organizamos nuestro inicio de kindergarten el lunes por la noche para las familias entrantes de kindergarten. ¡Es un placer ver a esos pequeños preparándose para la escuela primaria!
Quiero agradecer a nuestro reflexivo y generoso PSO, que se reunió el martes por la noche en Durham. Su apoyo, energía y tiempo con la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros fue increíble. También están organizando el almuerzo de fin de año para el personal, por lo que estamos muy agradecidos. El 11 de junio a las 7:00pm es nuestra última reunión de PSO de este año escolar. El PSO actual pasará el cargo al nuevo PSO. ¡Damos la bienvenida a todas las familias a asistir!
Quiero recordarles a todos que este próximo miércoles 22 de mayo es el Día de Planificación docente. NO HAY ESCUELA para los estudiantes.
Deseandoles lo mejor,
Directora Hedges
