May Day Is Coming - April 29th |
May is coming! We will celebrate May Day in school on Friday, April 29th at 9:00 a.m. Please send your children to school wearing white (or as close to white as possible). Families are welcome to attend and watch.
This year, the 4th and 8th graders will be dancing the May Pole while their fellow students create music, flower crowns, and general merriment of the festival. Classes will then make butter to enjoy with bread, and fill May Day baskets to share with our community.

Battle of the Books Stars! |
We are incredibly proud of our readers in the 5th grade Evergreen Class who represented Mountain Song in this year's “Battle of the Books!” The Mountain Song 5th graders were divided into two teams, equally responsible for reading a total of 40 books. They demonstrated their knowledge of each book through a competition against 112 other teams throughout the Pikes Peak Region. One Mountain Song team placed 8th, and the other placed 2nd against this wide field of teams from other schools!
During their experience, the Evergreen students motivated each other, and celebrated each other’s outstanding accomplishments. We are incredibly proud and give our utmost congratulations to both Evergreen teams for their positions on the podium.
Thanks to Ms. Katie White for her hard work in helping the students prepare, as well as the students’ parents. A special thank you goes to Asta Star, parent volunteer, for coaching the teams in weekly meetings to prepare for their end of the year “battle.”

If you are wondering how to celebrate Earth Day today, Agricultural Arts teacher Mr. Matt Thomas has a creative idea that he demonstrated on FOX21 News yesterday morning: Building a Bug Hotel. He shared with News Anchor Abbie Burke the activity and why supporting our insect world is important. Check out the story here.
