Elementary Principal Mrs. Plants:

It sounds like everyone had a refreshing Spring Break! We have some fun events coming up that we hope you can join us for including the PIE Family Game and Raffle Night on Friday, April 4th @ 5:00 and Relay Day on Tuesday, May 20th at 1:00 in Maxwell.

We have also set our Preschool/Kindergarten Informational night for Tuesday, May 6th at 6:00.

We wrapped up The Kids Heart Challenge with our final donation totaling just over $6,800. This broke the school record that was set last year! This means that at our assembly I will be kissing a pig and Mrs. Jensen will wear a clown costume!

Spring is an exciting, but busy time of year! We have ISASP Assessments for 3rd through 5th graders the week of April 15th and FAST Assessments the week of April 28th. Please help your student(s) to be successful by ensuring they eat a good breakfast, get plenty of rest, and try their best!

Thank you for your continued support!
