NH SAS and NWEA Testing
May is testing month in the Mascoma School District. Grades 1-4 will be taking the NWEA's (Northwest Evaluation Association) in Math and ELA the week of May 12th. Just grades 3 & 4 will be taking the NH SAS (New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System) in Math, ELA, and Writing the week of May 5th. If you didn't see it in my email Alma blast last week, here is the letter explaining the NH SAS - just click on the picture.
Senior Center Visit
Every month a class or grade level visits the senior center. The month of April was both Miss Quinn's and Miss Jansch's classes. They performed a readers theater for the seniors this month!
Magic Show!
On Friday April 11th, the students got see an amazing magic show! Tommy Jones performed a show called the The Magic Wonder! The CES students had a blast!
Recycling!

Jump Rope for Heart!
CES is wrapping up the Kids Heart Challenge. We set a goal to raise $6,000 for the American Heart Association, and we crushed that goal. We are just below $9,000 with more money still coming in. Students spent the last three weeks learning about their hearts and how to keep them healthy, learning how to jump rope, and learning about helping others. On Thursday April 28th we had over 100 students stay after school to celebrate their hard work with a huge Jump Party! Way to go CES you are heart heroes!
