ROADRUNNER REPORT
April 25th, 2025
Dear Roadrunner Families,
We have lots of great things happening at Palmquist! We've been officially recognized as a Unified Champion School by the Special Olympics for creating a school climate of acceptance and promoting social inclusion of all students. In addition, our students and staff will be featured in an upcoming Oside In One Minute to highlight our Everyone A Reader program. We have over 20 community volunteers who read weekly with our first and second grade students. One of our volunteers, Tim Keen, was a former principal of Palmquist! Many thanks and a big congratulations to our kindergarten teacher, Teresa Flanagan, for spearheading these two important programs and to all staff for collaborating to make it all happen! Teresa was honored this week by the Association of School Administrators for her leadership in promoting equity and inclusion in our school community. Way to go Teresa! We look forward to having you join us for Open House on May 1st! Come check out what your students have been learning, creating, and cultivating! Be sure to stop by our school wide art show and visit our Farm Lab to see what students have growing on!
Take good care of each other and have a happy and peaceful week!
Julie

Estimadas familias de Roadrunner:
¡Tenemos muchísimas cosas geniales en Palmquist! Hemos sido reconocidos oficialmente como Escuela Campeona Unificada por las Olimpiadas Especiales, por crear un ambiente escolar de aceptación y promover la inclusión social de todos los estudiantes. Además, nuestros estudiantes y personal aparecerán en el próximo Oside en Un Minuto para destacar nuestro programa "Todos Lectores". Contamos con más de 20 voluntarios de la comunidad que leen semanalmente con nuestros estudiantes de primero y segundo grado. Uno de nuestros voluntarios, Tim Keen, fue director de Palmquist. ¡Muchas gracias y felicitaciones a nuestra maestra de kínder, Teresa Flanagan, por liderar estos dos importantes programas, y a todo el personal por su colaboración para que todo esto sea posible! Teresa fue homenajeada esta semana por la Asociación de Administradores Escolares por su liderazgo en la promoción de la equidad y la inclusión en nuestra comunidad escolar. ¡Bien hecho, Teresa! ¡Esperamos contar con su presencia en la jornada de puertas abiertas el 1 de mayo! ¡Vengan a ver lo que sus estudiantes han estado aprendiendo, creando y cultivando! ¡No olviden visitar nuestra exposición de arte escolar y nuestro Laboratorio Agrícola para ver lo que los estudiantes están desarrollando!
Cuídense mucho y tengan una semana feliz y tranquila,
Julie
