 Monday is the first day of the 3rd quarter of school! It is amazing we are already halfway through the school year. We are thrilled with the progress our students are making every single day and look forward to all of the growth and excitement in the 3rd and 4th quarter.
Last week, our 3nd grade students presented their PBL to an expert in the field and many parents and grown ups. Their presentations were very well done and we noticed growth in their Portrait of a Graduate attributes of communication and collaboration as well! On Thursday, our fifth and sixth graders enjoyed our first SCA dance in a few years and it was awesome! Thank you to our SCA Sponsors and Officers for their organizations. The students and staff had a great time!
During the early release on Thursday, school staff organized all lost items, returned those with names to the homeroom classrooms and hung all remaining items. Please stop by the lost & found to reclaim any family items! We will donate items again at the end of winter.
In a few weeks, we look forward to hosting our Quarter 3 Principals' Coffee and want to know what is on your mind! Submit a question or topic request here.
We will see our students tomorrow for the start of the third quarter. We are looking forward to a full week of school together!
 Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Wizards game and our January Meeting. We were appreciative of Ms. Roth, our Guest Speaker, to share with us how students are learning and conceptualizing math at Lemon Road. Next month's meeting will focus on enrichment and summer camp opportunities available locally.
