A Message from Ms. Piezas
Hello Corvallis Community,
We had great time at the Color Run on Friday! Kids and adults were covered in colored cornstarch. Smiles and laughter were every where.
We want our recess time to be as fun as possible. That means all of our studnets need to play safely. Playworks and our Junior Coaches will be out leading games and helping resolve any conflicts. Help us support all children by reminding them that playing safely means using equipment properly.
Don't forget our Fall Fesitval is coming up Friday, October 25th. Please send a bag of candy to school. This will be distributed to the children at the event.
Our Corvallis 2024-2025 Calendar is up on our website.
Let's have a wonderful week of learning!
With love,
M. Piezas
