NO SCHOOL - Spring Break - March 18-22
From Mr. Sachtleben's Desk...
Today was an awesome celebration of the diversity that is here at Sells! The students were involved in a variety of activities today as we participated in our Sells-a-Bration! Many of our teachers were involved in the creation of this day and we culminated it with a Rock Rally! During this Rally, we finalized our Dodgeball champions that will represent Sells at the District event on May 10. For the 3rd consecutive year a group of boys who call themselves the Ice Monkeys were our building champs! This 8th grade team will do awesome at the District event.
I wish all of our families safe travels if they have plans to vacation next week. Enjoy the time off and know that when we return from spring break, it is a sprint to the end of the school year!
Have a great spring break!
