Teacher & Nurse Appreciation Week
Teachers play a critical role in educating and shaping our children into future leaders and successful members of society . These kind, patient, hard-working, dedicated, and understanding professionals help mold our children and guide them in positive directions. We entrust our children with teachers during the school year and they play a pivotal role in their lives daily. This week we celebrate their efforts, lifting them up with simple gestures of gratitude!
The health of a student is inextricably linked to their ability to learn. Unaddressed health care needs make it difficult for children to participate in the learning system. The school nurse helps students succeed by providing healthcare to all students in the school context through examination, treatment, and follow-up. The school nurse helps children with their physical, psychological, emotional, and social health requirements as well as their academic success.
Spring Book Fair
We are excited to announce the Scholastic Book Fair will be at our school May 6th - 10th, in the Media Center! This event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries! As always, all purchases benefit our school. The Media Center received approximately $5,000 in Scholastic dollars from our successful Book Fairs last school year. We were able to purchase many new books, STEM manipulatives and other items—all for the students!
PARENT/FAMILY NIGHT will be Thursday October 19th from 4:30pm-6:30pm.
