SPECIAL THANK YOU!
We would like to send an extra special THANK YOU to Mr. Grimson and his son for volunteering their time to paint a couple fun games on our back pad for our students to enjoy! You are so APPRECIATED!
ASSEMBLY
We started a new theme for the month of June. Perseverance is the theme and we had a great discussion on what this means. With the carnival coming up this weekend, we also watched a video about that too.
You can see our ASSEMBLY AGENDA at this LINK.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR RAD RAPTORS
We also had a draw for our June Pizza with the Principal draw, but we missed out on getting everyone in the photo. Congratulations to: Edith, Aurora, Grayden, Jacob, and Wyatt. We will determine a date that works for all next week and let parents know when their special lunch is.
SWIMMING
What a fun week the students had at the pool for their swimming lessons! The kinder and PK students also had their free swim. Please click on the link below to see additional photos. Thank you to everyone that came out to volunteer!
