Bear Tracks

Today was full of celebrations with our Kindergarten concert, SHS Panthers and Popsicles, and our all-family picnic. Big shout out to Mrs. C for putting on incredible music and band concerts throughout the year! Our kindergarten students (and teachers) had an amazing performance. It even included our 6th grade band for the final number. We had a wonderful turnout for our all-family picnic during lunches today! Thank you for everyone being patient and flexible today. We love inviting our community into our school for events like these. We know our parking lot does not accommodate our needs. Next week we will be recognizing our 6th graders, have our Olympic themed field day, and our final awards assembly of the year. Spirit day is Neon Day on Friday June 14th. For the last day of school, Monday June 17th, we will have our staff and student kickball game. Reminder that dismissal is at 11:45 without lunches (cold lunch take home options are available).

* The first time a phone/device is turned in to the office, it may be picked up by the student at the end of the day after staff has contacted a parent.
