We're Almost There!
Summer Break is just around the corner! Teachers and students are busy finishing the school year by completing assessments, packing the classrooms, participating in fun school events, sharing memories, completing report cards, and spending time together before we say our goodbyes.
This year has been very challenging for our community. We've had our ups and downs with re-learning how this whole school-thing works. The pandemic and its pervasive effects created new barriers over and over for us. It is my hope that we are closing this chapter with a great ending, one filled with joy and kindness.
It certainly felt like we are creating this great ending by the looks of our Cultural Celebration on Friday night. This small video shows you how hungry we were for community. Look at our turn out!

5th Grade activities volunteers
It's the end of the year! We need tons of volunteers to make these events happen! This is a great time to see what's in store for your future fifth grader, or a great way to give back for your outgoing fifth grader. Please sign up whenever you can help. Feel free to sign up for more than one if you plan on being at the event the whole time. There are a couple times where we need a lot of grunt work, so the more people who show up, the faster it will go. Contact Laura with any questions! Fewmets@gmail.com or sign up at the link below
