Teacher Appreciation Week May 5-9

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up soon!  We will be celebrating our amazing teachers and staff the week of May 5 - May 9.  Please make plans to shower your teacher and class buddies with love if you are able, whether it's a special note, small gifts on different days, or one gift for the week.  Need ideas?  Look for a flyer in your student's Friday folder with suggestions.  Let's show our staff how much we appreciate all that they do for our students!

Request from STEM

Mrs. Caruso needs both empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls for upcoming projects.  Thank you!

Volunteers Needed: Family Fun Fest

Family Fun Fest still needs event co-chairs and day of event volunteers. Please sign up if you are interested and available. We do not have a date, so you will be a part of coordinating that too, but it will be in May. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4DA8A92FA4F5C52-53728086-afes#/

Spirit Rock

Have you seen the amazing artists we have in this school taking their turn and painting our rock by the Teacher Parking lot?! You can also get in touch with your inner artist and send a message to your special Shining Star! There are still plenty of weeks available to share a message of birthday wishes, congratulations, or just something fun!
