This past week we had a blast celebrating spirit week, with clothing themes for each day. We also raised money for charity during recess with the Prayers for Maria Ice Cream Truck. Preliminary estimates are that we raised over $300 for childhood brain cancer research! Thank you to all who participated!
After school on Thursday (5/8) we hosted a campus clean up. Students stayed after school and helped us pick up trash, pull weeds and apply the first coat of paint to our new spirit rock! A special thanks to our PTA who helped secure the rock. Without the work of Mrs. Jordanger, this would not have been possible. Also, a huge thank you to Mrs. Jacono, Mrs. Klessel, Mrs. Navratil, and Mrs. Wilkinson who planned and facilitated the campus clean up. Managing 30 kids and actually getting them to work in no small feat! They did an amazing job and we really appreciate their willingness to make our school a better place!
Grade level transition activities are in full swing. Tuesday of this past week we had our 4th grade students visit our building to learn what it's like to be an intermediate student, including using a locker and switching classes. Our 6th grade students shared a similar experience and visited LBMS to receive a crash course in the life of a middle school teenager. The visits were informative for all involved.
With state testing completed we have one final round of MAP testing that will take place within the next two weeks. This will allow us to reflect on the amount of academic progress students have made over the course of the school year. Final MAP results will be sent home with report cards and will include a MAP score from the fall, winter and spring.
Finally, a huge thank you to the PTA for all their kindness and generosity during staff appreciation week. Your support is truly appreciated by the staff!
