May Recap:

Students and staff had a blast in the month of May at our school. We kicked off the month with our Scholastic Book Fair and Staff Appreciation Week. We appreciate all of our families that participated in purchasing books and spoiling our staff! Our school took a moment to celebrate mom’s on May 10^th with the Mother’s Day Breakfast Buffet. Mom’s and their children enjoyed a waffle and oatmeal buffet before receiving their Mother’s Day gifts. Our curriculum focused on animal life cycles. The month of May brought chickens to our school! We incubated 12 eggs at the beginning of the month to showcase the life cycle of a chicken. Classrooms also kept caterpillars to showcase the life cycle of a butterfly. Students enjoyed being a part of this process. At the end of May, our school took time off on the 27^th to observe Memorial Day.

April Recap:

April welcomed our Spring weather and our return to school from our week-long break! Students participated in the Week of the Young Child where each day was a different theme. Of course, the most popular day was Pajama Day! We also had Sports Day, Crazy Hair Day, Class Picnic Day, and Superhero/Princess Day. Thank you to all the parents who brought in eggs for our egg hunt! Our students and staff had a great time hunting for eggs on our playgrounds! Another event that happened in April was our Open House. This was a great opportunity for current families to see all the work their children have produced throughout the school year.

March Recap:

March was a fun month celebrating Dr. Seuss and St. Patrick’s Day! We had a great time dressing up for Dr. Seuss’ birthday! Mustache Day and PJ Day were our biggest hits at the school. Students wore green to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and had many surprises in their classrooms left behind by those little leprechauns. Ms. Lucy’s Ukulele class had their concert and it was a Hula-Good Time! Laugh Out Loud pictures came and took our Spring photos which were a blast!

February Recap:

The month of February brought so much love to our school! Our school was ready to celebrate friendship and love as our front office and hallways were decorated with dancing hearts! We celebrated Valentine’s Day with our morning parties and the children enjoyed passing around their cards to all of their classmates. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to bring in yummy Valentine’s snacks!
