Message from Principal Clint Beyer
Welcome Back!
The Holiday break is always a good time to step away a bit from school and recharge the battery.

Now that everyone is back in the swing of things, it is a good time to review what has already been learned and what the future has in store.

Our staff does a nice job of going over the school expectations and reviewing them when the students return. It is really important that everyone is on the same page after the break.

The student passports will be reviewed, classroom expectations will be reviewed, and routines reestablished. If some practice needs to take place to make sure everyone is working together this is the time to do it. The staff will also be conducting their mid-year assessments to see what growth has been made by the students.

With the extra time spent on these important parts of our day, it helps the remainder of the school year to be very productive.

January Phy. Ed. Activities
We did not get to the climbing unit in December so January will begin with the climbing unit for all students K-5th grade. Following the climbing unit all students will do fitness activities. The 4th and 5th graders will then participate in an archery unit. The K-3rd grades students will be doing a variety of scooter activities and scooter games while the 4th and 5th graders are participating in archery.  
Bike Shop
Bike Shop is a great opportunity for students in 4th and 5th Grades to learn to fix bicycles. Students can keep a bike when it is fixed and safe to use. They also have the opportunity to fix a bike for someone who may not be able to afford a bike, or may possibly never had a bicycle due to their geographic location.

In the past years, Bike Shop has donated 1000 bicycles to the Dominican Republic, 86 to a community in Mississippi, and 50 to Flint, Michigan.

Bike Shop is a four week session, held after school on Mondays (3:15-4:45pm). There is one 4th Grade and one 5th Grade class per session. See when your child's class is scheduled for Bike Shop between January-May.
