Science Fair was incredible! The students' work was inspiring. I hope you had a chance to attend the public viewing. Thank you Amanda Westby and our Upper El teachers for guiding the children through the scientific process. Many thanks to two of our board members: Jean McDowell and Joseph Ryan. Joe brought a handful of scientists from Whitney Labs to provide feedback for our children. A Science Fair with real scientists! Invaluable! 

Our bi-annual anecdotal narrative reports will NOT be going home today. Instead the reports will be going home when we return from Spring Break. As you may know, the past 2-3 weeks we have had almost every teacher and admin out sick at some point. The narratives we be joyfully completed now that our whole staff is well. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Art on the Go is offering a 2 day camp during Spring Break. This camp is open to our students and the greater community. Camp will be held at SAPMS from 10-2  on Tuesday and  Thursday of Spring Break. $75 per student. Miss Jaime Bernstein and the current Art on the Go students have created a beautiful mural on our play yard fence. 

One of our parents is working on creating a physical education program for us. If you have a sport or physical activity that you'd enjoy teaching to our students, please let me know and I'll connect you. Thanks Brooke for tour initiative! 

Upper Elementary would like to do some building. Do you have any extra materials, talent or time to guide our students in building some outdoor benches for seating? We'd also like to add 2 gates to our walkway. Please let me know if you're interested in helping.

I hope you get to enjoy some outdoor time with your children this upcoming week. We've had a lot of discussion about screen time lately. Please use this week to connect with your children through board games, meal times (and meal prep), meaningful  discussion, art/crafts, sports or maybe a long walk. 

Have a wonderful Spring Break! We will see you soon.
