This week was so much fun with all of the rain. You might think this would be less than ideal for us (it would be if it lasted longer) but so much good was seen through the raindrops. I saw so many examples of people sharing umbrellas, even with those they don't know well, just to keep them dry. I saw lots of people offering to help carry things when juggling umbrellas and their belongings was challenging. I saw parents show up in large numbers to help distribute special lunches to the classrooms so students wouldn't have to walk in the rain. And I saw students smiling and laughing as they got to use their rain boots to jump and splash in the puddles (pure joy).  

 

This week has also been a little tougher on the health office. We have had to send many students home with coughs and/or fevers. Please help us keep the community as healthy as possible by keeping students home if they have symptoms. Also, please let us know if someone in your household tests positive. It is important to apply the masking rules when they apply. Thanks for your support in keeping the community safe.

 

Lastly, a very big thank you to all of the teachers who worked so hard to prepare for conference day. This is a group of dedicated, professional, and passionate teachers who make our community strong, vibrant, and joyful!
