 | Rose’s Message As we move through the school year, we are grateful for the continued support of our families in helping our students grow, learn, and thrive each day. While there are no major updates or events to share this week, wonderful learning is happening in every classroom, and our students are working hard and showing great progress. Thank you for your partnership in reinforcing positive habits like daily attendance, reading at home, and kindness toward others. These small, consistent efforts make a big difference in our school community. We appreciate all you do and look forward to another great week ahead!

 | Dear Families, I’m excited to announce that our school will be hosting our Spring Scholastic Book Fair the week of May 4th through the 8th in the Wondry. We will be hosting Family Night on Monday, May 4th, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Students can shop at the fair during their STREAM special time. Kindergarten families can shop the fair after school between 3:00 and 5:00 pm, Monday through Thursday. It’s one of the most anticipated events of the school year for students, but we
need volunteers to make it happen. Your help is crucial in making the Fair a truly
unforgettable experience for our children. We hope you’ll consider offering your time and talents to get it running! If you’re available to lend a hand at this upcoming event, please sign up at the link below. Volunteers for library checkout in STREAM are welcome to signup in the slot for their class.
