Message from Mrs. Castillo

Team

WOW!  Friday night was awesome.  Thank you to all our families who volunteered, made donations, or attended the annual basketball game.  It was a ROARING success!  

Our 5th & 6th grade spring dance was so much fun on Monday.  It is incredible to see our students have fun, dance, eat snacks, and just enjoy being together.  Thank you to our SCA sponsors Ms. Deal & Ms. Benson and our SCA Officers for this opportunity.

Last week, our 1st graders shared their research projects with classmates and families.  Thank you for joining us and hearing our students share their hard work.  Our Eco Defense Squad held their 2nd free SWAP of the year.  It was great to see families work together to reduce, reuse, and recycle rather than throwing items away or purchasing new.  

This week, each grade level will have a STEM Assembly hosted by our generous PTA.  This will be the 2nd assembly for the year for each grade.  They are trying something new and offering a unique experience for each grade to ensure it is hands-on and interactive for all our lions.  This is an example of your PTA dollars at work!  Check out next week's newsletter to see photos!
