Copper Beech Parent Update

Dear Copper Beech Family,

We had an exciting start to our week on Monday with our students participating in the Brain Show assembly. The children were thrilled to be on stage, answering trivia questions and dancing to the various songs. During the assembly, students were entertained as the upper-grade teachers danced to Back Street Boys and competed against each other. Healthy competition is always a lot of fun!

On Tuesday, our fifth-grade students attended the Community Day event. Seeing the students mingling and engaging in cooperative games was a joy. More importantly, we witnessed our students making meaningful connections with their peers from the other six elementary schools.

We hope you have a wonderful long weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!

Best,

Ms. Stokes
