May 10 - Family Newsletter

Rolling Valley Families,

What an incredible Staff Appreciation Week it has been! A big thank you to the PTA for their support and thoughtful gestures throughout the week. Their dedication to stocking the lounge and providing so many delightful treats and unches truly made our staff feel valued and appreciated! 

For our students, it was a week filled with exciting adventures and hands-on experiences. We saw many students participate in the Walk, Bike, and Roll to School day on May 8th. Our second-grade classes embarked on a field trip to iCode, where they were immersed in hands-on technology learning opportunities. Meanwhile, our kindergarten students embraced the rain during their field trip to Frying Pan Park. Despite the weather cutting the trip short, the excitement on their faces was evident in the adorable photos that were shared. To wrap up the week, the PTA hosted the Games and Grub Event! 

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making Staff Appreciation Week so special to our dedicated staff members. 

Have a great weekend!
