Next week we begin our spring MAP testing in Grades 2-8. This is the most important of the three as it represents the growth of our students throughout the school year. You can find the full schedule
here
, or in the weekly calendar below. Students perform best when they get a good night sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. Thanks for helping and encouraging your student to do their very best.
Tonight at 7:00pm, the GPO will be hosting our annual Talent Show. Come see students in Grades 3-8 perform a wide variety of talents. The show takes place in Fellowship Hall.
The Art Show has been delayed one week. Consider making plans to walk through the gymnasium sometime next Friday to see the wonderful projects our students have produced throughout this school year.
