Principal's Message
As we begin our spring break, I share with you a special poem written by Ms. Krieber's class. It was a special treat for Mrs. Thomas and I to have some of our students share this poem in person. After they shared, I asked them how they developed their collective work. It was a joy to hear how they worked on shared individual ideas through writing lines of poetry, working on each other's strengths and then improving upon their work in groups. I'm proud of the resilience and hard work of our students. During a year like no other, they continue to amaze me. I'm thankful to be your principal.
You may enjoy their video here.
Enjoy your break and thank you for your partnership,
Stacy Kirkpatrick
History in the Making
By: Ms. Krieber’s Class
This year in fifth grade came off a different start
It felt like we might just all fall apart
We came in with our heads held high
We didn’t let any negativity get by
There were times when we had doubt
But we stuck together with no pout
Wondering what might happen next
Always hoping for the best
We stocked up on masks wanting it to end
Oh how we wanted to go and see our friends
Day after day learning behind a screen
At times it was quite a boring scene
Plans have changed we are coming back
Hoping corona will cut us some slack
Now we’re here it’s time to grab your pack
Make sure you don’t forget your snack
Back in the building three feet apart
Pencils and paper, we’re ready to start
Now that we are back in school
We’re learning all the new rules
Although times have changed New things are still within range
Managing all the different things
That these new times bring
Even though we’re adapting to change
There’s still a lot of courage left in our veins
Our hearts are big, and minds are growing
But to this day our spirits still glowing
